Cornell University, History Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship
With the sponsorship of the Society for the Humanities, the Department of History invites applications for a two-year Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship position beginning August 1, 2025. The fellowship carries a stipend of $62,000/year.
We seek a scholar with a PhD in History who is also grounded in theoretical and methodological public history approaches, in particular Museum Studies, Historic Preservation, or digital history. This position will involve developing new directions in public history teaching and research, and joining an interdisciplinary group of scholars and students whose projects focus on historic sites, digital media, museums, libraries, archives, and/or local communities. Geographic area and historical era open, but we prefer candidates who focus on climate or energy history, African American women’s history, or LGBTQ+ history in the Americas. The postdoc will teach a lower-level and an upper-level course each year that engage with public history topics and methods (involving, for instance, monuments, museums, oral history, historic preservation, walking tours, historically engaged performance, or documentary film). These courses would emphasize applied forms of historical engagement by undergraduates such as conducting archival research, learning and practicing oral history methods, developing curatorial skills, actively engaging with local and global individuals and communities, and asking theoretical questions about history as a process of knowledge production. The postdoc would play a central role in the Public History Initiative (PHI) and the Critical Inquiry into Values, Imagination, and Culture (CIVIC) initiative, by offering interdisciplinary courses and programming (such as lecture series) relevant to their specific field.
Applicants eligible for the Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship for the 2025-26 and 2026-27 academic years include those who have received the Ph.D. degree after August 1, 2021 and no later than June 30, 2025. Applicants who do not have the Ph.D. in hand at the time of application must include a letter from the committee chair or department stating that the Ph.D. degree will be conferred before the term of the fellowship begins. International applicants are welcome to apply, contingent upon visa eligibility.
Application materials must be submitted via Academic Jobs Online position #27746 by October 1, 2024.

Mission of Journal
Siyabonana: The Journal of Africana Studies is an open access online peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes original research and creative intellectual work on key issues within the discipline of Africana Studies and across the global African world. Pan-African in scope, the journal publishes research articles, essays, commentaries, book reviews, interviews, and other creative work that utilizes African-centered theories, methodologies, and approaches to not only examine critical issues, but also to present solutions within all areas of Africana Studies, including the humanities, arts, and sciences. It simultaneously provides intellectual space for discourse about community social justice activist work and liberation struggles on the continent and within African world communities. Accepting intellectual and creative work from diverse scholars, activists, writers, and artists who resemble the Editorial Board’s diverse training and scholarship, The Journal of Africana Studies intentionally positions itself as an inclusive and affirming discipline-based African-centered entity. Timely and radical intellectual research and creative pieces on the prison industrial complex; Africana/Black digital humanities; Africana genders and sexualities and Africana queer theory; the Black radical tradition; political prisoners; Africana/Black Psychology; mental health, nutrition, and holistic health; the African/Black Aesthetic; Africana spiritual philosophy; Black liberation theology; and Afrofuturism are, therefore, also welcome.
About the Special Issue
We invite papers for a Summer 2025 special issue on African-centered/Africana Psychology. Africana Psychology critically investigates and interrogates the life-worlds of people of African descent from an African-centered perspective. This special edition seeks articles that address issues of identity, education, health, clinical/counseling, criminal justice, sexuality, sexism, gender, methodology, racism/oppression, religion/spirituality and intellectual history. We also welcome book reviews of recent and new publications within the domain of African-centered/Africana Psychology. Suggested article topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
The rationale for African-centered Psychology
Definitions and conceptual models/orientations in African-centered Psychology
History of the development of African-centered Psychology
African-centered Psychology in literature
The relationship between African spirituality/philosophy and African-centered Psychology
The utilization of African-centered psychology with any of the bodies of knowledge in Black Studies
The relationship between history and cultural personality
Psychological intervention and clinical treatment
Media images and Africana identity
Popular culture and Africana psychology
Intelligence testing with Black populations
The psychology of Africana leadership
Educating African-centered psychologists
The social viability/liberatory aspects of African-centered Psychology
The future scope and directions of Africana Psychology.
We encourage longer essays and research articles, as well as oral histories, institutional reports, book reviews, commentaries, artwork, and creative works such as poetry, short stories, and narratives. Essays, research articles, reports, and oral histories/interviews should not exceed 10,000 words; review essays, film reviews, and commentaries should not exceed 3,000 words; and book reviews should not exceed 1500 words. The length and medium of all creative work will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

He received a B.S. in Psychology from Bowie State University; a M.S. in Community Psychology from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University; and a Ph.D. in African American Studies from Temple University. His research attempts to demonstrate the connections between Africana Intellectual History and social science that are often seen as disconnected. In particular, he examines how historical figures in the Africana intellectual tradition explore the notion of Cultural Consciousness. Jamison’s research interests include Africana Intellectual History; the intellectual history and Diasporic connections of Africana Psychology; and the Psychology of race and racism. He has published articles and essays in The Journal of African American Studies; The Journal of Black Studies; Race, Gender and Class; The Griot; Africology: the Journal of Pan African Studies; The Western Journal of Black Studies; The Journal of Black Psychology; and The Black Scholar.

Exploring the Psychological, Emotional, Physical and Social Impact of Global Colorism
Call for Submission:The Journal of Colorism Studies (JOCS) is accepting submissions for a themed issue titled “Exploring the Psychological, Emotional, Physical and Social Impact of Global Colorism.” The theme is aligned with the second Ronald E. Hall Conference on Colorism scheduled for August 22, 2024 and August 23, 2024.
Colorism involves distinctions based on skin color (light, medium or dark) and results in the favorable or unfavorable treatment, discrimination, biases, etc. of individuals based on the lightness or darkness of their skin color and can include other phenotypes. With its foundation deeply rooted in white superiority, white supremacy, white privilege, racism, prejudice and stereotypes, colorism is detrimental to the psychological, emotional, physical, and social well-being and is complex in nature (Colorism Project, 2006). Colorism occurs consciously and unconsciously, and acts of colorism can be intentional or unintentional, hence, the “complexity.” Colorism is one of the many issues impacting the global community intraracially and interracially involving racial and ethnic groups in various categories. The impact of this global phenomenon is traumatizing psychologically, emotionally, physically, and socially, and can impact overall well-being.
Submissions Accepted
Articles, book reviews, unpublished commentaries, case studies, interviews, film/movie reviews, unpublished blogs, and podcasts.
Submission/Author Guidelines
Submissions will not be considered for publication if they have been published before or if they are under review by another journal or publisher. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to use from copyright holders for reproducing tables and figures. Submissions to JOCS are subject to an initial internal review. Submissions considered for potential publication will be reviewed using a blind peer review process. Submissions that do not follow author guidelines will not be considered for publication. Submissions will follow the style of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th edition).
The submission format is as follows:
Singe spacing.
1-inch margins (top, bottom, and the sides of each page).
12-pt Times New Roman.
Lines should be left-justified, and words should not be divided at the end of a line.
Number all pages.
Submissions (including notes, references, and tables) should not exceed 25 pages.

The impact of this global phenomenon is traumatizing psychologically, emotionally, physically, and socially, and can impact overall well-being.
