MP: An Online Feminist Journal is growing, and we are looking to
expand our editorial board!

We seek energetic people with a passion for feminist scholarship to help with handling our growing submission volume and with expanding the journal as it moves toward a regular publication cycle.

We seek to add two new members at this time. Here are some basic
qualifications we are looking for:

-- A background and strong interest in feminist studies and issues. As we are an interdisciplinary journal, some interdisciplinary study is preferred.

-- The ability to converse about these issues in a civil and critical manner with people of different training levels and backgrounds.

-- The ability to work with authors in copy editing their manuscripts before publication and some background in working with editing and copy editing for academic audiences.

-- The ability to keep up with a schedule and regular (though not
heavy) deadlines.

Board member duties include the following:

-- Reviewing submissions in a timely manner and offering brief
feedback on each one

-- Copy editing 1-2 submissions per issue, which includes working with authors on their revisions

-- Offering input on various issues that arise as the journal continues to grow

For more information about the journal, please see http://academinist.org/.

If you are interested in applying, please send along a cover letter and CV in application to submissions@academinist.org. In your cover letter, please address what qualifications and experience you would bring to the board, as well as what attracts you to the position.

If you have any questions, please address them to Heather McIntosh, MP co-editor in chief, at iam@hmcintosh.org.

Thank you!
