New Editor Sought for Feminist Criminology

The American Society of Criminology’s Division on Women and Crime (DWC) invites applications for the position of editor of Feminist Criminology, which is the Division’s official journal. It is the responsibility of the DWC Chair and Executive Committee to conduct the search for the new editor. The Executive Committee will select the next editor with approval by the current Editorial Board.

The journal is published by Sage Publications and uses an on-line, electronic submission process. The new editor will be responsible for administering this process and publishing four issues a year. The editor will serve a three or four year term to be negotiated with the Executive Committee. It is anticipated that new manuscript submissions and other editorial duties will transfer to the new editor around June 2014. The editor is responsible for the timely and substantive output of the journal, including the solicitation of manuscripts, supervision of the peer review process, and the final selection of articles for publication. Duties also include implementing the journal’s editorial policies, maintaining high professional standards for published content, and ensuring the integrity of the journal.

The editor’s supporting institution normally provides office space, file storage, equipment, at least one graduate assistant for the duration of the editorship, and release time for the editor. ASC provides $5000 a year to be used for editorial support.

Interested applicants may contact the current editor, Jana Jasinski (Jana.Jasinski@ucf.edu) for additional information regarding the logistics or operational details of editing and producing the journal.
