Dear Professor,

I have learned of your research on emerging adults technology usage and I would like to invite
you to submit a chapter to an upcoming book on this topic, published by IGI Global. This edited
book is called:
Identity, Sexuality, and Relationships among Emerging Adults in the Digital Age
The book will provide a new framework for understanding emerging adults and how they
navigate developmental tasks and issues utilizing digital technologies. The book will synthesize
the research on emerging adults digital technology usage and how these technologies hinder or
help their identity development and formation, contribute to aggressive and prosocial behaviors,
understand their sexuality, and benefits or harms their relationships with their parents, friends,
and romantic partners. In places where the published research on a topic is missing, research
from the face-to-face context can be used to provide a starting point for understanding the same
topics as related to digital technologies. Gaps in the literature will be identified and future
research will be proposed on these topics. Topics might include relationship with parents,
friendships, love, romantic relationships, sexting, aggression, prosocial behavior, technology
addiction, identity development and formation, and the self.
The deadline for the chapter proposal is September 30, 2015 and for the completed chapter is
January 15, 2016. Decisions on abstracts will be sent to authors by October 15, 2015. Please
submit the abstract to: http://www.igi-global.com/publish/call-for-papers/call-details/1901.
The book is expected to be finalized by August 1, 2016. If you have any questions about
potential chapter ideas, please feel free to email the editor at michelle.wright@mail.muni.cz.
I am looking forward to your hopeful response. If you know of others who might be interested in
this chapter call, please feel free to share.
Michelle
