AOSIS calls for Editorial Board Members for the African Journal of Disability
CV Submissions Deadline: 30 August 2022
Dear colleagues,
The African Journal of Disability (AJOD), published by AOSIS, dedicates its efforts to introducing and discussing issues and experiences relating to and supporting the act of better understanding the interfaces between disability, poverty, and practices of exclusion and marginalisation. Its articles yield new insight into established human development practices, evaluate new educational techniques and disability research, examine current cultural and social discrimination, and bring serious critical analysis to bear on problems shared across the African continent.
We are inviting interested academics to apply for inclusion on the Editorial Board or nominate suitable colleagues.
Applicants must complete the online application form at https://bit.ly/3QSrPsC and send their CVs to editor@ajod.org before 30 August 2022.
Alternatively, you can send your nominations via email to editor@ajod.org along with background information and a motivation for why you would nominate this person.
African Journal of Disability editorial board members’ key responsibilities include:
• Acting as advocates for the journal throughout the community
• Upon invitation, acting as peer reviewers for submitted papers within their area of expertise
• Providing editorial advice on an ad hoc basis.
Editorial board candidates should be established academics with a clear publication record demonstrating their expertise in their research field. They may be research group leaders, professors, and senior scholars. Naturally, board candidates should maintain the high ethical standards expected of academics overseeing aspects of peer review.
The position of an editorial board member is voluntary and part-time.
Thank you for your continuing interest in our work.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Lieketseng Ned
Editor-in-Chief
