We expect this to include engagement with critical scholarly topics and public debate, as well as with new developments in digital publishing. Above all, the AAA Executive Board seeks an EIC who will maintain the journal\u2019s editorial standards and position at the cutting edge of the field.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The AAA Executive Board invites submissions from a wide range of candidate profiles. We wish to especially encourage applicants from underrepresented groups and diverse backgrounds.
