Gender, Place and Culture: A Journal of Feminist Geography is Seeking a
Book Review Editor.
Gender, Place and Culture, published by Taylor and Francis, is a well
established geography journal with an international circulation. The
current Managing Editor is Brenda Yeoh and Editors are Deborah Dixon,
Robyn Longhurst, and Beverley Mullings. The journal has two Book Review
Editors, currently Patricia Noxolo and Rachel Silvey. The journal is
looking to replace Rachel Silvey whose term is coming to an end.
This new book review editor will join the journal for a three year term.
As Gender, Place and Culture publishes six issues per annum, both book
review editors will be responsible for providing book reviews for three
issues each. The new book review editor will start in January 2009 but
will be expected to spend the period from August 2008 onwards shadowing
Dr. Rachel Silvey.
Candidates should:
- have a broad knowledge of the field of feminist geography and of
women¡¯s and gender studies;
- actively encourage submissions from scholars from all world
regions;
- encourage the review of a wide range of texts;
- be able to seek texts from publishers;
- have access to email;
- have excellent editing skills.
Our preference is for people who already have editorial experience as they
will be required to commence the preparation of book reviews fairly soon
after joining the journal. Applications should consist of a letter
detailing the candidate¡¯s editorial experience, including their vision
and ambitions for the journal, plus a CV. Nominations of suitable persons
are also being solicited.
The closing date for Applications is 1st July 2008.
Further information about the activities and responsibilities of the book
review editor can be obtained from Brenda Yeoh. Nominations and
applications should be sent to Brenda Yeoh, Department of Geography,
National University of Singapore, 1 Arts Link, Kent Ridge, Singapore
117570 ([log in to unmask]).
