[Commlist] Jeunesse - Call for Editors

*DEADLINE: August 1, 2021*

/Jeunesse: Young People, Texts, Cultures/ is a scholar-led, 
interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed, bilingual academic journal housed at 
the University of Winnipeg. The mandate of the journal is to publish 
research on and to provide a forum for discussion about cultural 
productions for, by, and about young people.

The journal is currently looking for editors who work in one or more of 
the following areas at the intersection of the cultures of young people:

  * critical race studies
  * Indigenous studies
  * queer studies
  * critical pedagogy
  * sociology
  * cultural theory
  * digital texts
  * film and television

Duties and responsibilities include finding peer reviewers, assessing 
peer-review reports, preparing reports for the editorial board, and 
substantive editing of accepted articles. At /Jeunesse/, substantive 
editing includes detailed assessment of the logic of the argument and 
comments on stylistic felicity. Editors meet virtually approximately 6 
times per year, and work collaboratively to make decisions on article 
acceptances, overall design, and policies/best practices for the 
journal. Editors will work remotely, via e-mail and video meeting 
platforms such as Zoom.

While the positions are unpaid, there are considerable benefits to 
working as an editor of /Jeunesse/: editors help to shape the field of 
studies in young people’s texts and cultures internationally and to 
mentor emerging scholars, and will be offered the opportunity to 
participate in planning future directions of the journal. In addition, 
editors are entitled to request reference letters to aid in promotion 
and tenure from the Lead Editor. All editors will receive a free print 
and online subscription to the journal.

Applicants should provide a statement of interest that outlines why they 
would like be an editor of /Jeunesse/, as well as an account of previous 
editing experience (if any) and a short curriculum vitae that showcases 
other relevant scholarly activities. Statements should clearly indicate 
that applicants are familiar with the journal.

We particularly welcome applications from scholars who identify as 
queer, trans, Black, Indigenous, and people of colour from Canada, 
mainland Europe, Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. The 
ability to read and edit in French would be an asset.

Please send your applications and any inquiries to the Managing Editor, 
Lauren Bosc ((l.bosc /at/ uwinnipeg.ca) <mailto:(l.bosc /at/ uwinnipeg.ca)>).
