Co-Editor of Justice, Power and Resistance
The Editorial Management Board of Justice, Power and Resistance invites applications for two Co-Editors to join the editorial team of the journal for a period of three years beginning in late 2023.
Application deadline: October 18, 2023
Justice, Power and Resistance is an international, peer-reviewed journal promoting critical analysis and connecting theory, politics and activism. Working towards social justice, state accountability and decarceration, the journal is primarily a vehicle to make accessible and advance challenging research and scholarship that can be utilised to critically inform contemporary debates and policies. Originally based within the European Group for the Study of Deviance and Social Control, the journal invites academics, practitioners and activists to think critically about the concepts of justice and power, and what the implications of these are for the lives of people most affected by social harms. The focus on resistance is reflective of the endeavour to move this critical knowledge to social action, to harness ways that crimes and harms of the powerful in particular can be resisted, and to support wider understandings of how to mitigate penal expansionism and mitigate harms and violence.

Applications are invited for Co-Editors who can support the interdisciplinary and international nature of the journal in their expertise. Prospective applicants may be based in any country worldwide and may apply individually, or make a joint application. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape and develop the journal over the coming years. Members of the editorial team work closely together, are very supportive and meet a minimum of three times a year, either in person or virtually, to discuss the business of the journal. We are particularly interested in building a diverse editorial team and editorial collective with good international networks that better reflect the breadth of our intended readership.
