After Culture Call for Editors
After Culture is currently seeking graduate students and faculty to become
members of its editorial collective.
After Culture is a journal in anthropology, cultural studies, sociology,
geography, and interdisciplinary studies of culture, broadly construed.
After Culture’s mandate is to promote experimental forms of academic
scholarship, both in content and form, as well as to work with scholars on
developing new modes of scholarly presentation. After Culture provides
anthropologists, and other scholars concerned with “culture” and its
vagaries, with a space in which to celebrate and reconceive the study of
culture and its possibilities. The name of the journal serves as an
invitation to consider what comes next, what futures await anthropology and
the study of culture, and how these futures might be articulated and
enacted. After Culture is thus a space for the thinking and rethinking of
futures, of emergences and resurgences.
As an online journal, we are able to include scholarly work that moves
beyond the material boundaries of print journals, and as such, we hope to
expand academic forms of representation and work. After Culture is currently
interested in the following kinds of scholarly contributions:
After Culture is edited by an international editorial collective of graduate
students in anthropology and cultural studies; with the support of faculty,
the editorial collective solicits manuscripts, reviews articles, arranges
issues for publication, and hosts occasional workshops. Such an arrangement
of interdisciplinary and international interests allows After Culture to
constantly evolve; similarly, the editorial collective accepts new members
on a rolling basis, allowing for innovative ideas and approaches in the
journal's emphases.
The editorial structure of the journal is comprised of an Editorial Board
made up of graduate students who serve renewable three-year terms and who
adopt the majority of the peer-review responsibilities as well as the
formulation of editorial policies. The Editorial Advisory Board is comprised
of established scholars and assists with the peer-review process and advises
the Editorial Board on policy. Editorial Advisory Board members are
appointed to renewable five-year terms. Graduate students who have served on
the Editorial Board, upon completion of their graduate studies, are invited
to matriculate to the Editorial Advisory Board. These two arms are
collectively referred to as the Editorial Collective, and ideally will
comprise 30-40 individuals from across disciplines, locales, and
professional status.
If you are interested in participating in After Culture as an editor, please
send an email of interest a copy of your academic curriculum vitae to the
managing editors at after.cult...@gmail.com. After Culture can be viewed at:
