[Commlist] Jeunesse - Call for Editors

*Call for editors:*

/Jeunesse: Young People, Texts, Cultures/ is an interdisciplinary, 
scholar-led, 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 an *editor who specializes in 
history*, ideally the history of young people or young people’s texts 
and cultures. We welcome statements of interest from historians studying 
any period or place. Duties and responsibilities include finding peer 
reviewers, assessing peer-review reports, preparing reports for the 
managing 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.

The journal is also looking for a *Reviews Editor*. Duties and 
responsibilities include helping to organize and maintain a list of 
books to be reviewed, inviting scholars to write reviews, and editing 
reviews. Review editing involves corresponding with review authors as 
well as other editors whose area of study may place them in an excellent 
position to help out with editing a particular review. Preference for 
this position will be given to scholars who are either early-career and 
looking for a gentle introduction to scholarly journal work or labouring 
as a member of the academic precariat. Reviews editing is less work than 
article editing but counts as important and highly skilled academic work.

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 or any other editor on the board. For the most 
part, editors will work remotely, via e-mail. All editors will receive a 
free 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.

The deadline for applications is *March 1, 2019*. Please send your 
applications and any inquiries to:

Lauren Bosc
