The editorial board of Scholarly Editing announces a rolling call for editors and other recovery practitioners. Scholarly Editing seeks to develop and advance all aspects of textual and documentary editing, including the recovery of texts and artifacts that represent and celebrate the lives and contributions from and about Black, Latinx, and Indigenous peoples; Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders; women; LGBTQ+ individuals; and people of the Global South as well as others whose history has been erased, misrepresented, or disregarded. As we strive to diversify the journal’s staff and bring in new voices, we strongly encourage applications from these communities, as well as those who have expertise in the histories and literatures of those groups and peoples. This call reflects our commitment to ensure the journal’s sustainability by cultivating a robust editorial team that will succeed the senior editors over time. Applications from outside the US are welcome.
