Oral History Australia is seeking to fill the role of editor for our journal Studies in Oral History.
The role is voluntary but offers the opportunity for an experienced oral historian to give back to our community and/or for an early to mid-career oral historian to develop their skills.
In recent years the role of editor has been filled by two people. This is a very useful arrangement for sharing the workload of editor. It would be ideal for two editors of similar experience or an experienced editor mentoring a more junior colleague.
Studies in Oral History is an open-access academic journal providing peer-reviewed articles as well as reports and reviews of interest to the broader oral history community.
The new editor/s will commence with the 2026 edition of the journal. It is expected that the Call for Papers for the 2026 edition will be issued before the end of the year.
The current editors, Skye Krichauff and Carolyn Collins, are very happy to assist in the handover of the role.
Deadline
The deadline for Expressions of Interest is 22 November 2025. Submissions should be made to the OHA President Elisabeth Gondwe via email – president@oralhistoryaustralia.org.au.
