Internships
There are many opportunities to work on the journal along with our team of scholars, professionals, activists, writers, and other students. We can develop a program suited to fit your interests and lifestyle. To apply, please send an email to Professor Batya Weinbaum with your name, contact information and a letter detailing your goals, experience, skills and what you would like to do at Femspec. Following your application letter we will set up a time to do an interview with you via Skype.
This internship is on a purely volunteer basis and as such you will not be compensated monetarily but instead with skills and experience that will last a lifetime. We require a $300 payment made through the gofundme donation link at the bottom of the homepage upon acceptance into the program. We also require that you subscribe to Femspec for the entire time you are interning with us.
If you would like more information on what an internship is like at Femspec, please read the following from several of our past interns. We look forward to hearing from you!
