Editor Sought for Annals of the AAG The Association of American Geographers seeks applications and nominations for the People, Place, and Region section editor for the Annals of the Association of American Geographers. The new section editor will be appointed for a four-year editorial term that will commence on January 1, 2011. The appointment will be made by November 2010. The AAG seeks an editor who will solicit, review, and accept for publication articles in the People, Place, and Region subject area, within publication-space limitations that will be determined annually. The AAG Council expects that the new editor will accept manuscripts from across the breadth and depth of intellectual activity in their subject area of contemporary American geography. The AAG Council further expects that the Annals will publish items that represent the very best thinking in American geography. The section editor should be eager to act as an intellectual entrepreneur to attract the very best work being produced. In support of these goals, the editorial candidate should possess demonstrated expertise within the section subject area (People, Place, and Region), a distinguished record of scholarly achievement, a broad perspective on the discipline of geography, respect and affection for its diversity, and an ability to work constructively with authors during the review process. Institutional support for the new editor (especially some time released from teaching) is desirable, but not mandatory. The AAG will provide a stipend to be used for expenses and honorarium at the editor’s discretion. The section editor will work in coordination with the AAG Journals Managing Editor, located at the Meridian Place AAG office in Washington, DC. The Managing Editor bears primary responsibility for the logistics of processing manuscripts and book reviews, and for assembling and coordinating the publication of each issue of the journal in collaboration with the editors and the journal’s publisher. Editor candidates, therefore, should share the AAG Council's vision of an accessible, decentralized, and collaborative Annals editorship. A letter of application that addresses both qualifications and a vision for the People, Place, and Region section should be accompanied by a complete curriculum vitae. Nominations and applications should be submitted by September 20, 2010. Please send applications or letters of nomination to: Chair, AAG Publications Committee, AAG Meridian Place Office, 1710 Sixteenth Street NW, Washington, DC 20009-3198. Nominations and applications may be submitted electronically to rma...@aag.org. _______________________________________________ Specialty_groups mailing list specialty_gro...@lists.aag.org http://lists.aag.org/mailman/listinfo/specialty_groups -- Norma Rantisi, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Geography, Planning & Environment Concordia University 1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd. West Montreal, Quebec H3G 1M8 Tel.: 514-848-2424, ext. 2018 Fax: 514-848-2032 E-mail: norma.rant...@gmail.com
