Call for Editorial Committee Members
Interested in serving as a member of the Working Paper Series Editorial Committee?
The Working Paper Series (WPS) of the Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice publishes innovative papers by established and early-career researchers (including graduate students), as well as practitioners. The WPS works to provide a productive environment for debate about human rights among academics, policymakers, activists, practitioners, and the public, and it provides a platform for supporting authors via interdisciplinary feedback and spotlighting emerging work. To this end, it facilitates the editing and publication of papers, works-in-progress, and other writing projects that address human rights and social justice.
Authors from all disciplines and institutions, as well as at all career stages (including graduate students) submit papers to be evaluated by the WPS interdisciplinary editorial committee, which includes graduate and professional students from across the University of Texas. The WPS Committee provides comments and feedback to authors before the paper is published. Many of our working papers have gone on to be published in academic journals and edited volumes.
We invite all University of Texas graduate students to apply to serve on the editorial committee of Working Paper Series (WPS). Editorial committee members review and select submissions, edit accepted papers, and advertise new works on social media. The Committee meets three times a semester to discuss papers submitted to the WPS and delegate responsibilities. The estimated time commitment is 15 hours per semester.
If you are interested in becoming a member of the editorial committee, please submit a resume/CV to rcwps@law.utexas.edu by Monday, September 30, 2024. Please also include a brief paragraph (150 words or fewer) with the following information: (1) graduate department and anticipated graduation date, (2) experience with and interest in human rights, and (3) editing and/or publishing experience, if any (none required).
