The Society’s newsletter editors are seeking to form a team to generate content for the newsletter, including pieces from regular contributors. Currently, the Society sends out a newsletter to members three times per year. We would like to make the newsletter more inclusive, diverse and relevant. To this end, the newsletter team will consist of individuals from all career stages and all parts of the world to help create content. Contributors will be asked to:
- write at least one piece every two years (max 2000 words) relating to court studies in the broadest sense (research, theory, museology), including interviews with relevant academic researchers, project leads and/or museum/heritage professionals, or responding to an article in the Society’s journal, The Court Historian;
- join a meeting once or twice a year to discuss upcoming issues of the newsletter and engage in ongoing communication via a digital platform;
- suggest topics, ideas for regular features and new content on an ongoing basis;
- collect copyright-free images;
- gather items for regular features like call for papers, conferences, etc. on an ongoing basis;
- suggest content for short social media posts;
In return, you will not only support members of the Society for Court Studies and help collect news and insights on court studies from around the globe, but you will also have opportunities to share your research and ideas, expand your network, and enhance your CV. We are currently recruiting for team members and hope to formally launch the group in September 2024. All individuals interested in being part of the team should submit a short email with your research interests/experience and affiliation (if any) or CV, with “Newsletter Team” in the subject line to europe@courtstudies.org by 1 August 2024.
