A talk by A/Prof. David Hundt on how to apply for, and become a successful journal editor in your field, a notable research leadership role in being able to contribute to, and shape the discipline.

What’s involved in editing a scholarly journal, and how and why do people become editors? In this talk I will reflect on some of my experiences in editing the Australian Journal of Political Science and Asian Studies Review, and offer some suggestions for anyone who is interested in taking on an editorial role. Being an editor is an opportunity to make a unique contribution to your field, and this seminar is intended to be an open-ended discussion about what it entails.

Zoom details will be emailed to registered attendees the day before the event.
