Deadline: 3 March 2013
The Ajam Media Collective (AjamMC.com) is an online community dedicated to documenting and analyzing cultural, social, and political trends in the diverse Iranian, Central Asian, and diaspora communities, and serves as a semi-scholarly resource by engaging with academics, activists, and students of the region.
Ajam is looking to add Regional Editors to our team, with the intention of broadening our coverage and improving our analysis across the region. Some potential Regional Editor positions include:
Regional Editors are expected to manage coverage and coordinate articles exploring a particular region. Editors should be familiar with the fields they cover and should be plugged into contemporary debates, networks, and activism on and in the region as well.
Regional Editors should specialize in one or more of the following topics and display a basic familiarity with the rest: visual art, popular and traditional musics, literature, gender, sexuality, history, urbanism, social movements, religion, and the diverse intersections of these fields.
Individuals who believe they meet the above expectations are invited to apply by email with a cover letter and resume listing previous writing experience. Additionally, the applicant should submit one article (maximum 1500 words) on the region she or he is applying for. This article will be taken as a writing sample and will be published if and when the individual is accepted as Regional Editor. We especially welcome contributions from scholars and activists.
Applications must be received by Sunday, March 3, 2013.
About us: the Ajam Media Collective unites authors from various backgrounds and disciplines to promote diverse critical views of the region and seek to emphasize the region’s importance as a thriving cultural center whose multiple realities are too often obscured by the popular Western and global media. Ajam is a collective, which means that it is a labor of love for all involved and is strictly volunteer-based.
