AFRICAN STUDENT INTERNS: Review of African Political Economy:
The Review of African Political Economy, an eminent journal publishing since the 1970s, is seeking two African interns for its Editorial Working Group (EWG), to be found amongst African PhD students attached to UK universities.
The remit of the journal is as follows: "Since 1974, RoAPE has provided radical analysis of trends, issues and social processes in Africa, adopting a broadly materialist interpretation of change. It pays particular attention to the political economy of inequality, exploitatation and oppression, and to struggles against them, whether driven by global forces or local ones (such as class, race, ethnicity and gender). It sustains a critical analysis of the nature of power and the state in Africa in the context of capitalist globalisation".
These positions are to be counted as one year formal 'internships'. Those appointed would get some first hand knowledge of editing a journal and contributing (in a small way) to some of the tasks involved, e.g. book reviews, refereeing of articles, minutes of meetings, data inputting or team work to mount conferences and workshops. Such an appointment could enhance their portfolio (cv) of experience. They would receive a formal letter of appointment and certificate, expenses for attending the bi-monthly meetings and a free copy of the journal whilst in office.
The journal hopes to gain a broader African input to its perspectives, particularly from young people who are actively engaged in research. The kind of students they are looking for are preferably in their late second or third year, having returned from fieldwork. They would have to commit themselves to attending EWG meetings (four times a year) and taking on occasional but limited responsibilities. We would expect them to submit at least one piece of work to the journal whilst they are in office (with support). We are particularly keen to appoint someone with IT and internet skills who could assist in maintaining our web-site They should be performing well academically so that they will take this in their stride.
If you are interested in knowing more or in putting forward your name, please let me have the following information in brief: - your name - name and email address of your supervisor - country of origin - area or topic of research - year of registration - reasons for wanting to become an intern.
Our deadline is the middle of December 2012, and we will acknowledge all applications.
Thanks
Please return this application to Janet Bujra: Chair, Editorial Working Group, Review of African Political Economy by email at j.m.bujra@bradford.ac.uk |
