Writing Series: The Editor's Perspective

Latinx Intelligentsia

Episode 30

Although we all want to shake our fist at Reviewer #2, we don't usually have a chance to go behind-the-scenes of an academic journal. In this episode, La Profesora talks with Dra. Cindy Cruz, who recently stepped down from her role as associate editor for the Frontiers Journal, which is connected to the National Women's Studies Association.

Dra. Cruz offers an inside perspective on what it takes to make a journal viable--from finding an academic home for the journal to recruiting great authors to finding even better reviewers. It is certainly a labor of deep care for putting forth important scholarship, especially when it involves women of color feminists and womanists.

Our Poet-in-Residence and in Resistencia, Sarah Gonzales curates poetry from Wanda Coleman.
