BOOK-REVIEW EDITOR POSITION OPENING

The International Social Science Review, the peer-reviewed journal of Pi Gamma Mu, published semi-annually, invites applications for the volunteer position of book-review editor. Duties include receiving and distributing for review publications in the social sciences covering the disciplines of history, political science, sociology, anthropology, economics, international relations, criminal justice, social work, psychology, social philosophy, history of education, and human/cultural geography. The book-review editor asks publishers to send to the journal books for review that would be of interest to the readership of the ISSR. The book-review editor will maintain an E‑mail distribution list of potential reviewers to which lists of books that are available for review may be distributed every three months. As part of the editing process, the book-review editor should expect to contact the reviewer for clarification on specific points in the review and/or additional information, sometimes at the request of the editor. On average, 15 reviews appear per issue of the journal. The book-review editor is also responsible for mailing an issue of the journal to each reviewer whose book review is published therein. Editing experience is not required, but desirable. The successful applicant will receive a three-year appointment. Applicants for the position should submit their cover letter and c.v. to both addresses listed below. Deadline for submitting applications is April 12, 2012.

Note from President Barry Friedman:  In 2002, Dr. Daniel M. Schores, past chancellor of the Southcentral Region, was concluding 12 years of service as book-review editor, and recruited me to succeed him.  I accepted his offer, and I’m so glad that I did!  I served for six years, and had the most wonderful experience.  I got to work closely with the journal’s talented editor, Dean J. Fafoutis, and to be involved in interacting with scholars in anthropology, criminal justice, economics, geography, history, political science, psychology, and sociology who were writing book reviews that I prepared for publication.  What a great learning experience it was!  Dr. James D. Lowry Jr. succeeded me in 2008, and, as he concludes his valuable service to the journal, another opportunity for volunteer service to Pi Gamma Mu presents itself.  Please give this some thought.  It is a challenging but entirely manageable volunteer job for the right person.
