Call for Applicants: Editorial Team for the Journal of British Studies
Posted by jaskelly under Announcement, JBS, NACBS | Tags: applicants, call for applicants, editors, JBS, journal of british studies | 0 Comments
The North American Conference on British Studies is seeking a new editorial team for the Journal of British Studies, including a new general editor or co-editors, and a new book review editor or co-editors. The current editors' term ends in summer 2014, and the Association hopes to select new editors a year earlier to facilitate the transition process. Editors are appointed to a five-year term. Those interested in applying should contact Professor Cynthia Herrup of the University of Southern California History Department ([email protected]). The application deadline for both positions is November 30, 2012.
The Journal of British Studies, published four times a year, is the premier journal in the field, with a very high ISI citation impact rating. Starting in January2013, the journal will be published by Cambridge University Press.
Interested parties should be aware that the editorship and the book review editorship (both open to a team) are not related. Applicants should specify which of these positions interests them. Editorial subventions provide funding for editorial assistants for each of the two positions, but applicants will require a commitment of support from their home institutions. The current editorial teams are happy to answer questions about their duties. You can contact Brian Cowan ([email protected]) or Elizabeth Elbourne ([email protected]) about the journal editors’ responsibilities and Amy Froide ([email protected]) or Gail Savage ([email protected]) about the book review editors’ responsibilities. Questions and inquiries can also be directed to the NACBS president, Dane Kennedy ([email protected]), or vice president/president-elect, Keith Wrightson ([email protected]).

The NACBS is pleased to announce that its archives are now located at George Washington University in Washington D.C. and available for use. They are, however, located off-site and materials will need to be ordered prior to visiting. Scholars who wish to use these materials should consult the library’s on-line catalogue far enough in advance to ensure that the materials they require will be available. For further information see the information on the archives at http://www.gwu.edu/gelman/spec/index.html.
NACBS would like to continue collecting material to enhance the archive’s usefulness for future researchers. We hope that past officers of the NACBS and regionals, past editors of the Journal of British Studies and Albion, and past program chairs will consider sending their material to the library.
