Prospective Editors

NOTE: Applications for Prospective Editors are now closed for the 2009/2010 year.

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, as well as promoting the journal on campus. They are in no way excluded from submitting articles for potential publication.

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 provide 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 art history undergraduate academic journals in Canada.
