Call for Contributors: Khan Academy's "Smarthistory.org"

Khan Academy's smarthistory.org - a web-based educational platform for Art History - is currently working towards increasing its coverage of global topics, especially with regards to alternative Modernisms from non-Western perspectives. The site is looking for several more contributors at the graduate level or higher, with expertise in African, Middle Eastern, East Asian, or South Asian art from the 20th-21st centuries, to help build this section from the ground up.

Participation is unpaid, but presents an opportunity to write for an important and reputable resource, and to help non-Western topics become more visible and accessible to budding art historians! Essays are usually around 800-1000 words and are written for a general audience (keeping undergraduates and non-specialist instructors in mind).

If interested, email Beth Harris beth@khanacademy.org and Steven Zucker steven@khanacademy.org and briefly describe your experience in the field for which you wish to write. The editors would also be happy to discuss further details about our expectations and goals if you should have any questions about the overall project, or about the current Call for Contributors. With questions, contact Allison Young at aky215@nyu.edu.
