Dear ARM Members and Friends,

The Journal of the Association for Research on Mothering has planned to publish JARM Vol. 12.2 (fall/winter 2010) on the topic of
"MOTHERING, BEREAVEMENT, LOSS AND GRIEF."

We are seeking 3 guest editorial board members: 2 faculty and 1 graduate student for the editorial board of this issue.

Duties include preparing over email the call for papers beginning immediately July 2009 (2-3 hours) and then10-20 hours devoted to reading all article submissions and making decisions re: what should be included journal issue (May/June 2010), as well as a 4 hour meeting in Toronto in June/July 2010 to finalize article selection in conjunction with other ARM Journal Vol 12.2 board members.

Please note ARM is unable to pay travel costs for volunteer board members...but we are happy to send a letter of invitation you can forward along to your university/college when seeking funding. One must be a member of ARM to sit on a guest editorial board: http://www.yorku.ca/arm/armmembership.html

PLEASE EMAIL aoreilly@yorku.ca asap with a short note/bio about yourself and your expertise/work/interest in this area if you would like to be considered for the Journal Advisory Board for Vol 12.2.

PLEASE NOTE: Please only volunteer if you are certain you can assist with all duties listed above.
We've had some issues with recent committees/ have not been able to locate some committee members at the crucial times outlined above
(leaving much of the work to ARM Director and Staff).

Please only volunteer if you can truly commit the time.

Thank you in advance,

Andrea O'Reilly
