The editorial board for the UBC Undergraduate Journal of Art History is composed of a small group of highly motivated students and each plays an important role in ensuring the journal’s success. Prospective editors need not be Art History majors or minors, but must possess an interest in the field, as well as strong editing skills. Second and third year students are strongly encouraged to apply in order to ensure the journal’s continuation.
Editors are responsible for soliciting submissions, evaluating and editing articles, and promoting the journal on campus.
Working as an editorial board member will allow students to gain additional academic editing and writing experience, preparing them for graduate school or future employment. It will also afford them an opportunity to exercise their critical faculties and contribute to UBC’s scholarly community. Additionally, members of the editorial board will be recognized for their work in one of the few academic undergraduate art history journals in Canada.
How to Apply
Join us for an information session on Wednesday, November 9 at 1 p.m. in IKB 316 or Thursday, November 10 at 1 p.m. in IKB 317. At these sessions, we will explain the editing and submission process, acquaint you with the editor’s duties, and take your questions.
Submit an academic writing sample 5 to 10 pages in length, a current resumé, and a brief statement (no longer than half a page) that outlines your reasons for applying.
The application deadline for editorial board positions for the journal’s third issue is November 21, 2011.
