Dear History majors and MA students, Please see below for a great summer internship opportunity with Black Perspectives (the blog of the African American Intellectual History Society), the leading online platform for public scholarship on global black thought, history, and culture. The internship is online, which means that the intern can work from anywhere. All details below! Best, Prof. Bregoli http://www.aaihs.org/summer-editorial-internship-at-black-perspectives *Black Perspectives* <http://www.aaihs.org/black-perspectives/>, the blog of the African American Intellectual History Society (AAIHS) <http://www.aaihs.org/>, is currently accepting applications for our inaugural summer editorial internship program. The internship, which begins on *June 1st and ends on August 31st*, is open to graduate students and advanced undergraduate students. *About Black Perspectives* *Black Perspectives* <http://www.aaihs.org/black-perspectives/> is the leading online platform for public scholarship on global black thought, history, and culture. As engaged scholars, we are deeply committed to producing and disseminating cutting-edge research that is accessible to the public and is oriented towards advancing the lives of people of African descent and humanity. Formerly referred to as the African American Intellectual History Society (AAIHS) Blog, *Black Perspectives* serves as the medium to advance these critical goals. Although many of the writers are historians, we provide a crucial online space for scholars working in various academic fields. We understand African American and African diasporic thought in its broadest terms and encourage the use of interdisciplinary research approaches. We also value diversity and inclusion and welcome all scholars–regardless of race, gender, class, sexual orientation, or any other social category—to contribute as long as the research is thorough and accurate in its portrayal of black thought, history, and culture. *About the Internship* Interns will work closely with the blog editors on a part-time, unpaid basis for three months and receive practical experience in academic blogging. Each intern will contribute to the publication of the blog in a variety of aspects including research, copy-editing, fact checking, and formatting. Interns will receive a complimentary one-year membership in AAIHS and waived registration fee for the 2018 AAIHS conference. The 3-month internship offers young scholars an opportunity to sharpen their writing skills and receive personalized feedback on their writing. It also provides interns with access to a diverse network of early career bloggers (and professors), and the opportunity to publish their pieces on a popular academic blog. The internship is online, which means that interns only need access to a computer and internet. *Qualifications* - Currently enrolled in an accredited academic institution; graduate students (PhD and MA students) and advanced undergraduate students. - Preference will be given to candidates who major/specialize in History, African American Studies, English, and Journalism. However, we will consider applications from candidates in a variety of fields including Political Science, Sociology, Women’s and Gender Studies, International Relations and America Studies. - Must be motivated, detailed-oriented, and possess strong writing skills. - Must have a knowledge base and keen interest in black thought, history and culture. - Must have an interest in blog writing and social media. - Must be interested in working with a diverse group of scholars who are passionate about black thought, history, and culture. - Must be willing to devote *approximately 10 hours per week* to assisting with the blog; and be willing to attend mandatory online training sessions during the week of May 28th and attend one-hour SKYPE/Phone meetings (generally once per month). Those interested in the program are invited to submit the following materials to Profs. Keisha N. Blain and Ibram X. Kendi via email at aaihs10(a)gmail.com no later than *May 25, 2017*. - A brief cover letter *(please introduce yourself and explain why you’re interested in this opportunity)* - A CV/Resume - A writing sample *(2 blog posts/op-eds or one essay of 10 pages or less)* --- Francesca Bregoli Joseph and Oro Halegua Chair in Greek and Sephardic Jewish Studies Associate Professor of History Queens College and The Graduate Center, CUNY Acting director, Center for Jewish Studies The Graduate Center, CUNY
