[ecrea] Call for Guest Editors - Feminist Media Studies Commentary & Criticism

Wed Sep 27 18:41:42 GMT 2017






The editors of Feminist Media Studies’ Commentary & Criticism section are seeking self-nominations from scholars to serve as a guest editor of the section for an upcoming issue in the journal, to be published sometime in 2018.

The Commentary & Criticism section of Feminist Media Studies features timely responses to current issues in feminist media culture, for an international readership. In each issue, the section features 3-5 brief (1000-2000 word) essays on a given theme. The guest editor will be responsible for proposing a theme, circulating a call for submissions, selecting the submitted essays to be developed for publication, and working with authors to bring the selected submissions up to the standards of publication in FMS. The guest editor may also write a substantive introductory essay if they choose. The turnaround time for the Commentary & Criticism section is typically 3 months, from posting of CFP to the issue going into production. The guest editor may work closely via email with the regular Commentary & Criticism co-editors (Susan Berridge and Laura Portwood-Stacer) throughout the process.

We are particularly interested in proposed themes that incorporate issues of race and ethnicity in their framing, and that show the potential to attract a diverse, transnational range of contributions. We will consider proposals from scholars working within the academy, alt-ac and post-ac scholars, precarious and independent scholars, and advanced graduate students. We will also consider proposals from two-person co-editing teams.

To nominate yourself as a guest editor, please send an email with the following information in the body of the email:
-A proposed theme for your guest-edited Commentary & Criticism collection
-A one-paragraph description of the theme that demonstrates its contemporary relevance to the field of feminist media studies and feminism/media culture at large -A one-paragraph biography that details your qualifications to serve as guest editor, including your research and publication history relevant to the proposed theme

To receive full consideration, please direct your email to both Dr. Susan Berridge ((Susan.Berridge /at/ stir.ac.uk) <mailto:(Susan.Berridge /at/ stir.ac.uk)>) and Dr. Laura Portwood-Stacer ((lportwoodstacer /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(lportwoodstacer /at/ gmail.com)>) by 1 November 2017. Questions and expressions of interest can also be addressed to Drs. Berridge and Portwood-Stacer in advance of the deadline.
