About the TRAILS Editorial Board

Call for TRAILS Editors
Become a member of the TRAILS Editorial Board and join a dynamic community of educators dedicated to advancing excellence in the teaching and learning of sociology. Editorial board members play an essential role in reviewing submissions and mentoring authors throughout the publication process—contributing directly to ASA’s mission of promoting innovative pedagogy and supporting scholarly teaching and citation. We are currently seeking editors with expertise in any subject area. We also seek editors who have expertise in the evolving use of AI in teaching and learning.
Newly appointed members will begin a three-year term starting in September 2026. In addition to reviewing materials in specific subject areas and making publication recommendations to the Editor, members of the Editorial Board are responsible for promoting the digital library and working to expand the range, quantity, and quality of teaching resources in TRAILS.
Applicants should be members of the ASA and are required to maintain membership throughout their term, have a PhD in sociology (preferred), and have a demonstrated commitment to teaching and learning in the discipline. A publication record in TRAILS is viewed favorably but is not required. Applications will be reviewed starting August 1st and will continue until available positions are filled. To apply, send a letter describing your interest, experience with TRAILS, and qualifications for the position, and a CV to [email protected] with the subject line “Editorial Board Application.”
