Annals of the AAG

Calls for Editors

AAG is seeking an editor for each of two sections of the Annals:

The American Association of Geographers (AAG) seeks applications for the Human Geography editor for the Annals of the American Association of Geographers, consistent with the AAG JEDI Strategic Plan. The new editor will be appointed for a four-year term that will commence on January 1, 2028.

The AAG seeks an editor who will solicit, review, and accept for publication, articles in the broad field of geography. The AAG Council expects that the new editor will review manuscripts from across the breadth and depth of intellectual activity in contemporary geography with the ability to understand and assess cutting edge Human Geography research and manuscripts. The AAG Council further expects that the Annals will publish items that represent the very best thinking in geography. The editor should be eager to act as an intellectual entrepreneur to attract the very best work being produced.

In support of these goals, the editorial candidate should have a PhD in Geography or a related field and possess demonstrated expertise within the subject area of Human Geography, a record of scholarly achievement, a broad perspective on the discipline of geography, respect and affection for its diversity, and an ability to work constructively with authors during the review process. Institutional support for the new editor (especially some time released from teaching) is desirable, but not mandatory. The AAG will provide a stipend of $10,000 per year for the editor, to be used for expenses and honorarium at the editor’s discretion.

The editor will work in coordination with the AAG Publications Director. The Publications Director bears primary responsibility for the logistics of processing manuscripts, and for assembling and coordinating the publication of each issue of the journal in collaboration with the editors and the journal’s publisher. Editor candidates, therefore, should share the AAG Council’s vision of an accessible, decentralized, and collaborative Annals editorship.

AAG strives to build an editorial team that reflects the diversity of the community we work in and the institutional diversity of our field. AAG encourages applications from traditionally underrepresented groups such as women, visible minorities, Indigenous peoples, LGBTQ2SI people, veterans, and people with disabilities. Applicants from teaching institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), Tribal Colleges, and other Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), research institutions, Associates’ degree-granting institutions, and private or public sector and nonprofit organizations are welcome.

Please submit the complete application package by November 2, 2026, via this form. The application package should include the following information:

Statement addressing qualifications for the editorship including a personal statement on diversity (see AAG’s statement on Academic Freedom for context).
Complete CV, including any previous editorial experience.
Signed AAG Journal Editor Code of Conduct Certification Form (the blank AAG Journal Editor Code of Conduct Certification Form can be downloaded from here.)

For questions, please contact AAG Publications Director Jennifer Cassidento at jcassidento [at] aag [dot] org.
