Call for New Editor of the Journal of British Studies
The North American Conference on British Studies is soliciting proposals for a new editor or team of editors for the Journal of British Studies. The position should begin in the summer of 2023 for a five-year term. The Journal of British Studies is the premier journal in its field in North America; published four times a year by Cambridge University Press, it typically includes seven articles per issue in addition to book reviews. While primarily based in history, we hope to offer British Studies in its widest sense to include scholarly investigation in literature and culture, including work on transnational topics, colonial, postcolonial and Commonwealth areas. The membership of the NACBS is drawn from the United States and Canada as well as a variety of other countries. Proposals should reflect a recognition of national, demographic, and geographical diversity.
Proposals for a new editorial team should include the following elements:
1) An informed vision for the future of the Journal of British Studies (2 pages). This statement should reflect knowledge of how the fields of British Studies have changed over time and indicate possible directions of interest and growth, including social media platforms.
2) Names of chief editors (one or two editors), scholarly profiles, a short description of editorial experience, and c.v.’s.
3) Proposed Associate Editors or Editorial Board. Editors may choose several experts in a representative variety of fields. These scholars would work closely with the editor(s) to assess articles before sending them out for review, suggest readers, and consult more generally on developing the journal. Potential editors should seek the consent of their associate editors before submitting their proposal.
4) Proposed Advisory Board. This would be a larger group reflecting diverse interests in British studies who would periodically offer advice and serve as readers. Potential editors do not need to get permission from these scholars for the purposes of the proposal.
5) Letter from a Dean or Department chair indicating support offered by your institution, such as graduate student assistance and course releases. (Cambridge University Press provides money for editorial assistance).
Completed applications should be sent to Deborah Valenze at [email protected] by August 15, 2022.

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]).
