Editorial Collective

Barricade: A Journal of Antifascism & Translation is published independently online and in print by Cicada Press.

Our editorial collective consists of:

Lauren K. Wolfe
Fernando Goyret, Illustrator (c) 2026

Barricade is always looking to expand its Editorial Collective.

We welcome translators, writers, educators, artists, and other interested parties. Responsibilities include bilingual editorial review of submissions, according to linguistic competencies.

Editors work collaboratively with translators to produce a polished piece of writing and a smart and contextualizing translator’s note to accompany it.

The Barricade Editorial Collective follows a two-tiered structure that consists of Editorial Collective members and Editors-At-Large (EAL). Accepted applicants will serve for one journal edition cycle as an Editor-At-Large, working closely with an Editorial Collective member on preparing a submitted manuscript for publication. The Editor-At-Large is not expected to participate in Collective responsibilities. Upon successful completion of one issue of Barricade, the Editor-At-Large may be invited to join the Editorial Collective should they wish to do so.

To apply, please submit a CV, including a brief statement detailing your interest in the journal as well as a list of languages in which you have reading knowledge and with whose literary traditions you are familiar. Please also include in your statement a brief description of your philosophical attitude toward translation and your editorial style.

Send application materials to contact@barricadejournal.org, with “Editorial Collective Application” in the subject line.
