Linda May Grobman and Dara Bergel Bourassa are planning a new gerontology edition in the Days in the Lives of Social Workers book series. The editors are seeking social workers in a wide variety of roles within the gerontology field.

Background: The book DAYS IN THE LIVES OF SOCIAL WORKERS , now in its third edition, is a collection of narratives focusing on "typical" days in the lives of social workers. This book serves as a career resource for social workers, students, and those considering entering the profession, and is used as a textbook for Introduction to Social Work and other courses. Each chapter is written by a professional social worker with a bachelor's, master's, or doctorate degree in social work. Chapters are written in first person, describing a day in the writer's life as a social worker.

The gerontology edition: The editors are seeking submissions for a new book, tentatively titled DAYS IN THE LIVES OF GERONTOLOGICAL SOCIAL WORKERS, which will follow the same first-person narrative format, featuring professional social workers whose work is with or on behalf of older adults. If you work in or have experience in direct or indirect gerontological social work practice and are interested in submitting a chapter about your work, please e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it for the guidelines.

The submission deadline is December 1, 2006.
