London Review of Education, UCL Press’s flagship fully open-access journal based in IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society, is seeking to expand the membership of its editorial board.

• Spatiality and place in educational settings

Editorial board members are appointed on a three-year basis and are expected to act as champions of the journal in their institutions and networks, attend and contribute to the termly editorial board meetings, and participate in the peer review process (reviewing up to 4 manuscripts per year). In addition, editorial board members will subscribe to our equity, diversity and inclusion policy (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/about-ioe/equity-diversity-and-inclusion).
