Members are invited to apply for the role of Book Review Editor in the EASA’s flagship journal !
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Social Anthropology/ Anthropologie Sociale (SA/AS) editorial team and gain valuable editorial experience! The book review editor works closely within an editorial team committed to non-hierarchical forms of collaborative work and contributes to discussions and decision-making on editorial matters across all aspects of the journal.
As with all members of the SA/AS editorial team, the book review editor receives an annual travel allowance, and support to attend editorial board meetings and EASA conferences.
Role description
The role’s main responsibilities include commissioning and editing reviews of books across the full range of social anthropology subfields, with particular emphasis on review essays that engage multiple books and situate them within current disciplinary debates; and soliciting and editing the SA/AS’s annual review article, which provides a critical discussion of current themes across major European anthropology journals published in English. In addition, the role involves negotiating with publishers, advertising available books, sending out books and working with reviewers on their drafts.
Eligibility
PhD in anthropology or a related discipline, with demonstrated ethnographic research experience.
How to apply
To apply, please send a cover letter and CV to the EASA Secretary secretary[at]easaonline.org, by 13 November.
