Journal of the History of Economic Thought Editor Search NEW INFORMATION The current Editor of the Journal of the History of Economic Thought, Steven Medema, will be stepping down as of July 2008. The new Editor is expected to take office on July 1st 2008, with responsibility for issues from March 2009 onward. There is currently a good backlog of accepted papers. The History of Economics Society has established a search committee to recommend a new Editor (or Editorial Team) to the Executive Committee at the Annual Meeting in June 2007. The Committee is Malcolm Rutherford (Chair), Sandra Peart, and Bob Dimand. The Search Committee invites inquiries and expressions of interest from individuals or teams concerning the Editorship of the Journal. The Committee is open to various different arrangements concerning the Editorship, including a single Editor, an Editor with Assistant Editors, or two or more joint Editors. The current arrangements for the publishing of the Journal are under review and a new contract is anticipated. It is also anticipated the publisher will undertake the copyediting of accepted manuscripts, and that the Society will be able to offer at least $10,000 in support for the Editor(s). These funds may be used to support editorial expenses such as release time, secretarial support, office supplies, and travel. The term of the Editor is five years, with the expectation of renewal for another five year term on the mutual agreement of the Editor(s) and the Executive Committee. The Editor is a non-voting member of the Executive Committee of the Society. At this time the Search Committee encourages inquiries and expressions of interest even if tentative. Society members are also invited to suggest names to the Committee. Any names suggested will be contacted. More formal submissions will be requested from those who are (or become) seriously interested--including CVs, statement of Editorial philosophy, and preferred funding arrangements. The deadline for such formal submissions is March 31st 2007.
