Dear all

 

Gender, Place and Culture: A Journal of Feminist Geography is Seeking a Book Review Editor

 

Gender, Place and Culture, published by Taylor & Francis, is a well-established geography journal with an international circulation. The current Managing Editor is Peter Hopkins and Editors are Lynda Johnston, Avril Maddrell and Pamela Moss. The journal has two Book Review Editors, currently Ayona Datta and Andrew Gorman-Murray. The journal is looking to replace Ayona Datta 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 twelve issues per annum, both book review editors will be responsible for providing book reviews for six issues each. The new book review editor will start in January 2016 but will be asked to start shadowing the current book review editors as soon as possible

 

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 20 November 2015.

 

Further information about the activities and responsibilities of the book review editor can be obtained from Peter Hopkins. Nominations and applications should be e-mailed to Peter Hopkins at [log in to unmask].

Thanks

Peter
