Call for chapters: Global Handbook of Communications and Sustainable Development

Following the call for papers for the proposed Global Handbook of  Communications and Sustainable Development, a big number of submissions has been received from every part of the world. The quality and diversity of the submissions were quite encouraging. Proposals were received from diverse places; from New Zealand to Egypt, Australia to Ethiopia, Spain to China, United States to Nigeria,  United Kingdom to Kyrgyzstan, Turkey to Bangladesh and much more.  The diversity of the topics submitted makes the project even more exciting. But we still have room to add more chapters.

One of the aims of the book is to cover how all the SDGs are communicated in various communication platforms. Multidisciplinary approaches to communications and sustainable development are highly encouraged. The extended deadline for the submission of abstracts  is now 15 December 2018. I look forward to receiving your proposals. Please
