CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS- Encyclopedia of Women and Islamic Cultures

The Encyclopedia of Women and Islamic Cultures (EWIC) is a broad-based, 
interdisciplinary, cross-cultural, and transhistorical reference work, 
focusing specifically specifically on women in Islamic cultures, but 
also including non-Muslim women in cultures where Islam has had a 
significant presence.  It will be the first encyclopedia of its kind, 
and will be published as a six-volume set by Brill (Leiden, The 
Netherlands).

EWIC is currently seeking prospective authors to write on the topics 
listed below, with respect to Central Asia and/or the Caucasus.  If you 
are interested in participating, please send your CV and a concise 
writing sample to Loretta Kim (lekim@fas.harvard.edu)
