Dear Colleagues,

**Apologies for cross-posting**

Sociology Associate Board Call for Peer Reviewers

We are seeking 14 new members to join the Sociology Associate Board, from August 2019 until 31 July 2022.

Sociology relies on its peer reviewers to maintain high quality scholarship. Alongside the work of members of the Editorial Board, members of the Associate Board help to ensure that the journal makes a timely and constructive response to article submissions.

The Associate Board is an opportunity for individuals to become involved in the ongoing success of the journal by supporting the process of peer reviewing submissions and ensuring only the highest quality and most important articles are published in the journal.  The Board is made up of 30 scholars who commit themselves to reviewing up to 12 papers a year for the journal.   There are no face-to-face meetings; this Board is a 'virtual' entity.

Members of the Associate Board must possess either a PhD in sociology (or a related social science discipline). All candidates must have authored at least 3 peer reviewed publications and must possess experience of peer reviewing for at least 2 different social science journals. The full call for peer reviewers, including criteria for joining the board, can be found on the BSA website at: https://britsoc.co.uk/opportunities/publications-opportunities/

Due to the limited number of places available, applications are only being accepted from candidates with expertise in at least two of the following areas within sociology:

*         The body

*         Science and Technology Studies

*         Actor Network Theory

*         Deviance

*         Social and environmental justice

*         Climate change

*         Identity

*         Gender

*         LGBTQ studies

*         Race & ethnicity

*         Consumption/production

*         Cultural sociology

*         Contemporary social and sociological theory

*         Mass and social media

*         Economic sociology

*         Sociology of work


Sociology welcomes members from any cultural, national or academic background to contribute to the diversity of research published by the journal. Please see the BSA's policies on Equality and Diversity: http://www.britsoc.co.uk/the-bsa/equality.aspx

Application instructions:
The online application form is available at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/SOCAB2019

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the volume of applications the journal receives, we are only able to accept the first 100 applications. The call will close once we receive 100 applications or by 5pm Wednesday 22 May, should we not receive the maximum number.

If you have any queries about the role, that aren't covered in the call for peer reviewers, please contact: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
