WE WANT YOU! 🫵

The call for a new editorial team for the EJPG is now open❗
The mandate of the journal's sitting stellar team led by @jennpiscopo.bsky.social & @payoub.bsky.social will come to an end in July 2026.

📆 Applications must be received by November 23rd

Details of call here: rb.gy/lqidii

Application deadline: 23 November 2025

The Editorial Management Board of the European Journal of Politics and Gender invites applications for the editorship of the journal to run for a period of three years from July 2026, with the possibility of renewing for a second two-year term. The European Journal of Politics and Gender (EJPG) is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes international, cutting-edge research in the broad field of politics and gender. The journal has an Impact Factor of 2.3, ranking in the top quartile of both Political Science and Women’s Studies journals. The journal understands research in ‘politics and gender’ to include both gender and LGBTQIA+ politics. The new editorial team is expected to continue the journal’s LGBTQIA+-inclusive approach to gender and politics scholarship.

The current Lead Editors, Phillip Ayoub and Jennifer Piscopo, are stepping down with their Associate Editor team in July 2026. We are looking to appoint a team of two to three new Co-Lead Editors to shape the journal. The newly appointed Co-Lead Editors may work alongside one of the outgoing Lead Editors for a period of several months to ensure a smooth transition.

Join our #APSA2025 Wednesday afternoon short course on Planning for Real: Bringing Your Whole Self to the Field!

PLANNING FOR REAL: BRINGING YOUR WHOLE SELF TO THE FIELD
An APSA Short Course
Discussions on Navigating:
• The body
• Academic Responsibilities
• Ethics
• Practical Concerns
• Gatekeepers
• Community
• Family
• And much more
Most fieldwork advice is very general in nature, proffered for supposedly neutral and unmarked researchers. This approach underestimates the variability of researchers’ bodies and positionalities across the span and dimensions of fieldwork including preparing, active field time, and reception. These varied bodies and positionalities are not ancillary to the planning and doing of fieldwork but influence every aspect of it.
We take up these concerns in this interactive workshop session, sharing our experiences, insights and expertise, and creating space for participants to integrate their whole selves into planning and adapting field work.
Wednesday, September 10th
1:30-5:30 p.m.
