We welcome applications for the position of
Editor-at-Large from graduate students and advanced
undergraduates. We are especially interested in students working on or
located in the Global South and in the early modern and pre-modern periods.

The Toynbee Prize Foundation’s Global History
Blog features a mix of long-form (interviews with global historians,
roundtables on new books, conference reports) and short-form material (weekly ‘What
We’re Reading’ section, calls for papers, job posts, and the like), as well as
a soon to debut new section featuring short close reading archival source
analyses and research reflections.

Editors-at-Large gain exposure to one of the
most vibrant fields in the discipline today, while participating in, covering,
and staying up-to-date with new debates, conversations, and movements in global
history. They have the opportunity to interview pioneers of global history
and, through this work, begin directly building their own personal professional
network: from younger academics who have released innovative new works to more
established intellectual trailblazers. Past interviewees include Susan Pedersen
and Adam Tooze (Columbia University), Cemil Aydin (University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill), Vanessa Ogle (University of California, Berkeley), William
Rankin (Yale University), Seema Alavi (University of Delhi), and Sebastian
Conrad (Freie Universität Berlin), among others. Editors-at-Large either
pitch their own interviews or are assigned interviews to undertake. They also
have the opportunity to coordinate roundtables on new works in global history,
commission conference reports, and write other long-form and short-form pieces.
Most of all, we wish for Editors-at-Large to seize the opportunity to further
their own careers and interests and to advance the field of global history
through our platform.

To apply, please send a CV and cover
