Duties for this position would include the following:

• Coordinating the scholarly peer review process for the journal
• Liaising with authors who submit scholarly articles to the journal and distributing their submissions to peer reviewers
• Returning feedback from peer reviewers to authors

Preferred qualifications include:

• University professor or advanced graduate student in a humanities field

• Experience reading academic scholarship in the humanities
• Some degree of familiarity with feminist theory/scholarship and/or speculative fiction.

If interested, please send CV and letter of application to Editor-in-Chief Dr. Merry Byrd at mbyrd@vsu.edu

The applicant accepted for this position will be trained in the position by our current Peer Review Coordinator, Dr. Barbara Bennett, who will be resigning the position following the publication of our next issue, 26.2.
