Subject: Call for Editors - Gender and Language

 
The journal Gender and Language is inviting applications for the following
upcoming openings: Co-editors of the journal and Book Reviews Editor.

Gender and Language, the journal of the International Gender and Language
Association (IGALA), is published by Equinox and has been running since 2007.
Gender and Language is the only single scholarly journal to offer an
international forum for research on and debates about feminist research on
gender and language. It showcases research on femininities and masculinities,
on heterosexual and queer identities, on gender at the level of individual
performance or perception and on gender at the level of institutions and
ideologies.
The journal encourages debate about the implications of different definitions
of gender and different approaches to analyzing the production and
interpretation of texts and speech, and aims to foster interdisciplinary
dialogue. For further information on the journal, please see
http://www.equinoxjournals.com/ojs/index.php/GL.

All three positions are a three-year term (July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2022),
which starts at the end of the current editors' term. Gender and Language’s
