Call for Applications: Editor Opportunity for The City Amplified

August 20, 2018

The City Amplified: Radical Archives and Oral Histories seeks a highly organized, digital humanities savvy, current graduate student at the Graduate Center, CUNY in the Humanities or Humanities-related social sciences to work on a publication that reflects the year-long work of the City Amplified Working Group. The publication will be published in both physical and digital formats.
