ACME is calling for editors! For more information, read below or check out our website homepage:
acme-journal.org/index.php/ac...
ACME: An International Journal for Critical Geographies 2025 Call for Editors CLOSING DATE: 15th July 2025 ACME: An International Journal for Critical Geographies invites applications for Editors to join the journal’s Collective. All who apply will be considered, including those who have applied in the past. A commitment to mutuality, collective work, conviviality, and punctuality is required. Previous editorial experience is appreciated but not at all required or expected. ACME will offer mentorship by previous editors and create cohorts to build expertise. ACME is an international journal for critical analyses of the social, the spatial, and the political, and the only fully open access journal in the field of geography. The journal's purpose is to provide a forum for the publication of critical work about spatial processes and phenomena grounded in critical geographic scholarship. We understand analyses that are critical to be part of the praxis of social and political change aimed at challenging, dismantling, and transforming prevalent relations, systems, and structures of power. We welcome scholarly and creative engagements with past and ongoing processes of exploitation, oppression, extraction, colonial and imperial domination, whiteness, cis-heteropatriarchy, dispossession, gentrification, national aggression, environmental destruction, and neoliberalism. Critical approaches might draw from anti- and decolonial, antiracist, Asian and Pacific Islander, Black, critical race, disability, environmentalist, feminist, Latinx, queer, trans, anarchist, anticapitalist, and anti-systemic perspectives. We set no subscription fee, we do not publish for profit, we offer authors Creative Commons licenses (i.e. free use) of all their work, and ACME Editors do not receive compensation for their labor. The role of Editor will involve shaping the direction of the journal through the following (all of which will be reciprocated by each member of the ACME Editorial Collective): Engaging in the practice of mutual support, congeniality, and collective work Communicating with editors, authors, and referees in a timely and constructive manner Contributing to the overall direction, philosophy, and practices of the journal Regularly liaising with the Collective in a cooperative and non-hierarchical fashion Agreeing to participate in frequent processes of consensus-based decision making Working autonomously with an average of two to six articles per year to steer them through the editorial process from the initial screening to copyediting, and supporting other Editors in the review process Performing editorial duties associated with issuing decisions on manuscripts and submissions ACME Editors are internationally based, working across different time zones and languages in an inclusive manner. We encourage applications from the Majority World and regions underrepresented in critical geographical scholarship, and from those from marginalised identity groups in academia. The Collective supports Editors working in precarious contexts, but we are also keen on contributions from those in more privileged positions. Applicants with interdisciplinary background or affiliation aligned with the journal’s mission and scope are encouraged to apply. As ACME accepts submissions in 13 formats, we welcome applicants with a specific interest or expertise in any of them.
