Cultural Trends is looking for a book reviews editor. The post, which is unpaid, involves identifying and procuring books for review, commissioning and editing reviews. The books reviews complement Cultural Trends’ policy reviews, which are edited by Dr Ian Baxter.
The successful applicant will need to be a self-starter, capable of working independently, with administrative and managerial experience.
Please e mail the Editor, Sara Selwood ([log in to unmask]), using the heading Cultural Trends’ Book Review Editor, by 1 May 2010, saying why you are interested in this post and how you would go about it, attaching a CV and copies of your latest publications.
Cultural Trends is based on the proposition that cultural policy should be informed by evidence–based analyses. It aims to:
• stimulate analysis and understanding of the arts and wider cultural sector based on relevant and reliable evidence;
• identify clear trends in cultural provision, funding;
• consider participation, including the differences between different social groups and the impact of culture on individuals and society, as well as how such assessments are made and used;
• provide a critique of those data upon which arts and wider cultural policy may be based, implemented, evaluated and developed and encourage improvements in the coverage, timeliness and accessibility of statistical information on the arts and wider cultural sector; and
• examine the soundness of measures of the performance of government and public sector bodies in the arts and wider cultural sector.
