Sharing Stories from 1977, a nationally recognized digital humanities project, is pleased to announce we are forming an editorial board for our peer-reviewed, open-access website. Sharing Stories from 1977: Putting the National Women’s Conference on the Map is the central hub for documenting and interpreting the 1977 National Women’s Conference (NWC).
We are seeking twelve graduate student Sharing Stories Fellows who will be competitively selected in a national search to serve as an inaugural class of editors in 2025-2026.
Fellows will conduct editorial review of biographies drafted primarily by undergraduate researchers to be published on the Sharing Stories site. This program will especially suit graduate students interested in developing experience in the peer-review publication process and using digital tools. An interest in contemporary US history, women’s, gender, and sexuality studies, public history, and/or digital humanities is a bonus.
This virtual editorial fellowship will run from September 2025 through July 2026 with a time commitment of approximately 5 hours a week. Fellows will work in editorial groups led by Drs. Stacie Taranto, Emily Westkaemper, and Judy Tzu-Chun Wu as well as engage in social mixers and have the opportunity to present works-in-progress at an annual Sharing Stories Fellows Research Workshop.
Applications are DUE APRIL 15, 2025 and include a CV, Statement of Interest, and Writing Sample.
