Call for New JLACA Editor
SLACA is accepting applications for the position of Editor of the Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology. The successful candidate will ideally begin reviewing manuscripts on the 1st of July 2015 and have full responsibility for four volumes (12 issues) of the journal from the 1st of January 2016. There will be an overlap of at least six months with the current editor, Andrew Canessa, who will stand down in December 2015. The incoming editor will be assisted by two associate editors whom s/he will have a major role in appointing, as well as a reviews editor.
JLACA, currently in its 19th volume, is a peer-reviewed journal of anthropological research on Latin America and the Caribbean, which is published in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. The journal maintains a broad definition of geographical remit and includes diasporic populations. This inclusion is aimed at allowing systematic, fertile, and intellectually stimulating comparisons, which have not been sufficiently explored in publications about the region. JLACA‘s mission is to provide a venue for anthropologists (sociocultural anthropologists, social archaeologists, sociolinguists, ethnohistorians etc.) — as well as for scholars of cognate disciplines — who are engaged in the critical study of social and cultural processes in Latin America and the Caribbean. Complete applications include: • letter of application outlining the candidate’s editorial experience and vision; • a CV addressing publication, editorial, and administrative experience; • the names of three references who can address the candidate’s suitability for the position; • a preliminary commitment of conventional support from the candidate’s institution such as possible work space, course release, and student assistance.
Interested candidates are also encouraged to discuss their application with current editor, Andrew Canesa, as well as members of the Editorial Search Committee:
Nominations, self-nominations, and all inquiries should be sent as early as possible to Walter Little, SLACA President (wli...@albany.edu), with May 15, 2015 being the final deadline, in order to leave time to develop application materials in coordination with the applicant’s host institution.
