CAA News Today

CAA invites nominations and self-nominations for one (1) individual to serve on The Art Bulletin Editorial Board for a four-year term, July 1, 2024–June 30, 2028. The ideal candidate has published substantially in the field and may be an academic, museum-based, or independent scholar; institutional affiliation is not required. The Art Bulletin features leading scholarship in the English language in all aspects of art history as practiced in the academy, museums, and other institutions.  

The editorial board advises The Art Bulletin Editor-in-Chief and assists by seeking authors, articles, and other content for the journal; performs peer review and recommends peer reviewers; may propose new initiatives for the journal; and may support fundraising efforts on the journal’s behalf. Members also assist the editor-in-chief to keep abreast of trends and issues in the field by attending and reporting on sessions at the CAA Annual Conference and other academic conferences, symposia, and events in their fields. 

 The Art Bulletin Editorial Board meets three times a year, with meetings in the spring and fall (remote) plus one at the CAA Annual Conference in February (board members pay travel and lodging expenses to attend the conference in February. Members of all editorial boards volunteer their services to CAA.)

Candidates must be current CAA members in good standing and should not be serving on the editorial board of a competitive journal. Members may not publish their own work in the journal during the term of service. CAA encourages applications from colleagues who will contribute to the diversity of perspectives on The Art Bulletin Editorial Board and who will engage actively with conversations about the discipline’s engagements with differences of culture, religion, nationality, race, gender, sexuality, and access. Nominators should ascertain their nominee’s willingness to serve before submitting a name; self-nominations are also welcome. Interested applicants—both self-nominated or nominated by someone else—should submit a CV and a cover letter as a single PDF document by Monday, May 6 to Eugenia Bell, Editorial Director.
