Transformative Learning in the Humanities

Transformative Learning in the Humanities is a three-year initiative supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The grant supports public talks, symposia, and workshops as well as a series of intensive peer-to-peer faculty seminars for CUNY faculty at all ranks (including adjuncts) in the humanities, arts, and interpretive social sciences. The program focuses on equitable, creative, student-centered pedagogical research and methods designed for the rich diversity of CUNY students; greater recognition for the importance of teaching; and the role of an urgent and indispensable humanities for the future of CUNY students and a more just and equitable society.

The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy (JITP) – Join the Collective!

  • Call for Participation

    The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy seeks new members to join our Editorial Collective. We invite applications from graduate students, scholars, and practitioners in all fields who critically and creatively engage with digital technology in their teaching, learning, and research. We will be appointing both graduate student members and non-student members (faculty, staff, practitioners). This is an opportunity to gain experience and mentorship in academic editorship. Prior experience in publishing is not necessary. BIPOC and LGBTQ+ candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. OER enthusiasts, social media mavens, HTML tinkerers, and those with a flair for social media are also encouraged to apply.

    Our collective is only as strong as the diversity of its members. We therefore commit to actively foster the full participation of women, people of color, people with disabilities, and others historically excluded from the field as EC members.

    As the JITP team migrates our production and publication process to Manifold, we are particularly looking for candidates with enthusiasm for thinking through the opportunities and challenges posed by our new publishing platform.

    The deadline for applications is 6 May 2024.

    Responsibilities

    Editorial Collective members should plan to make a minimum of a two-year commitment to work on the journal. Each EC member is expected to:

    • Attend regular remote editorial collective meetings (once every 6 weeks or so during the Fall and Spring semesters)
    • Participate in ongoing editorial and operating discussions on the JITP’s private group site on the CUNY Academic Commons
    • Maintain membership in at least one committee and participate in discussions and tasks central to that committee
    • Possibly review one or two submissions to the journal per year, in addition to responsibilities outlined below
    • By their second year in the Collective, EC members are invited to take on one formal role in the production of the journal, i.e. as an Issue Co-Editor OR Section Editor (e.g. Tool Tips, Reviews etc.) OR Style and Structure Editor.

    Our working committees include: 

    Copyediting, Communications & Outreach, Layout Staging, Website Management, Style & Structure, Governance & Oversight, and more.
