Call for Nominations for Editors
Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist
Philosophy is seeking an
editor or an editorial team to serve a term of five years, beginning
July 1, 2018. The journal issues a call for
nominations for editor(s) every five years in order to consider new
proposals and directions for the journal, and to give others a
chance to be involved.
All proposals will be judged on their merits. We encourage
self-nominations as well as nominations of others. Self-nominations
and nominations of others are due no later than March 1, 2017.
Hypatia
is the preeminent journal for feminist philosophy; it has a wide
international readership and a robust institutional subscription
base. It serves as an
important resource not only for philosophers, but for all those
interested in philosophical issues raised by feminism, including
interdisciplinary women’s and gender studies scholars. The journal
publishes work covering a wide range of philosophical traditions and
topics, and therefore we encourage nominations (including
self-nominations) of editors who have diverse interests and
expertise in sub-areas and methodologies of Philosophy and Feminist
Studies.
Candidates
should have a record of publication in feminist philosophy, and some
previous editorial experience is desirable.
Hypatia is committed to
the inclusion of the scholarship of feminists of color, trans
feminists, transnational feminists, queer feminists, and disabled
feminists. Individuals
constituting an editorial team need not be members of the same
institution. Candidates
(or at least one member of an editorial team) should be at an
institution with graduate students in Philosophy or Gender/Women’s
Studies who can serve as managing editors and editorial assistants.
Candidates who prefer to co-edit and/or construct an
editorial team should indicate how they would share the work of the
journal. Candidates
should also indicate what kinds of institutional support they expect
to receive.
If you are
nominating yourselves, please send CVs for each member of the
editorial team. Also, please include a statement of interest that
indicates how the work of editing the journal will be shared and
where the journal will be housed, as well as brief statements
regarding your previous relevant experience and the directions in
which you would like to take
Hypatia. If you are nominating others, please send a letter
briefly stating your reasons for nominating them, as well as their
institutional/postal addresses, telephone numbers and email
addresses. We will contact them and request that they provide the
same materials as self-nominators should they wish to be considered.
Timeframe for
the search process: After reviewing the nominations, the search
committee will invite a subset of nominated editors or editorial
teams to submit initial applications, which will then be due by May
1, 2017. These initial applications will be reviewed and a subset of
applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal. The full
proposals must be sent by October 1, 2017.
Instructions for preparation of proposals
will be posted on the Hypatia website.
Nominations should be sent to:
Kim Q. Hall,
hallki@appstate.edu. Please
write “Nomination for Hypatia Editorial Team” in the subject line of
the email. If you have any questions about the nomination process,
please contact Kim Q. Hall.
