👏 We are delighted to welcome Lindsay Schakenbach Regele as the second of our two new co-editors for the #JERPano! 👏 Lindsay will step into the position alongside Mark Boonshoft, beginning July 2026. Read about her perspective on the role and the journal's place in her career below.

The JER is pleased to welcome Lindsay Schakenbach Regele as co-editor. Schakenbach Regele is Professor of History at Miami University, where she also directs the History combined BA/MA program. Her scholarship examines the confluence of economic interests, diplomacy, domestic politics, and military power in the early republic. She is the author of Flowers, Guns, and Money: Joel Roberts Poinsett and the Paradoxes of American Patriotism (University of Chicago Press, 2023) and Manufacturing Advantage: War, the State, and the Origins of American Industry, 1776–1848 (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2019). Her article, ”’Confidence’: Private Correspondence in Daniel Parkers War Department, 1811-1846," appeared in the Spring 2021 issue of the Journal of the Early Republic. In addition to her work with the JER, she has published widely in venues including the Journal of Southern History, Business History Review, Technology & Culture, and Studies in American Political Development, and currently serves as co–book reviews editor for the journal alongside Kristin O’Brassill-Kulfan.

Lindsay - “I feel incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to serve as co-editor of the Journal with Mark Boonshoft, whose skills and generosity as a scholar I have long admired. It is daunting to be following in the footsteps of such great editors and role models—Johann Neem, Ron Johnson, Andy Shankman, David Waldstreicher, Cathy Kelly, and other members of the masthead. JER scholarship has been instrumental to my development as a historian as I first encountered my PhD adviser—Seth Rockman—in an article he wrote for the JER in the early 2000s!

I will be forever grateful for Cathy Kelly’s guidance bringing my article into publishable shape when she served as editor. I hope to serve that role for the Journal’s authors, while encouraging emerging scholars to submit their work to the JER. Mark and I intend to continue the academic rigor and spirit of comradery established by our predecessors.”

The Journal of the Early Republic is currently accepting applications for a Book Reviews Co-Editor! Serve a three-year term beginning July 2026. Review of applications begins March 10, 2026. View the #JERPano CFA on The Panorama thepanorama.shear.org/2026/01/13/c...

The Journal of the Early Republic (JER) seeks applicants for a three-year term co-editing its book reviews section alongside the current co-editor. Appointment will be effective July 2026 at the end of the 2026 SHEAR Annual Meeting.

Editors of Reviews manage the solicitation, review, and acceptance process for book reviews and longer review essays published by the JER. Duties include identifying appropriate titles for review and corresponding with presses to ensure that JER receives review copies; identifying potential reviewers and assigning books to scholars with particular expertise in the subject matter; sending books to reviewers and following up with them until submission; providing editing for style and form for submitted reviews; and collaborating with the Managing Editor to allot received reviews to particular issues. In its book reviews, the JER is committed to representing the entire field and to encouraging the field’s diversity.

This position is uncompensated, but book reviews editors receive up to $1000 to support attendance at the Annual Meeting of SHEAR. Attending the Annual Meeting and the yearly Editorial Board Meeting held during the Annual Meeting is a requirement for the position.

Please submit letter of application and c.v. to journaloftheearlyrepublic@wwu.edu. The letter of application should explain the applicant’s interest in the position, relevant skills and experience, vision for the position, and any institutional support for the position.

Questions may be addressed to the Editors at the above email address. Review of applications will begin March 10, 2026.

👏 Please Join us in welcoming Mark Boonshoft, one of the new co-editors of the #JERPano! 👏 Mark is set to take the helm alongside Lindsay Schakenbach Regele this July. Discover his perspective on the role and the JER's place in his career below.

The JER is pleased to welcome Mark Boonshoft as co-editor of the Journal of the Early Republic. Mark is Associate Professor and Conrad M. Hall ’65 Chair in American Constitutional History at Virginia Military Institute, where his research and teaching focus on constitutional development, political culture, and the institutions that shaped the early American republic. He is the author of Aristocratic Education and the Making of the American Republic (University of North Carolina Press, 2020), a finalist for the George Washington Prize, and is currently completing a new book project on violence and constitution making in revolutionary America. A longstanding contributor to the Journal of the Early Republic, he has published two articles in the JER, one of which received the biennial History of Education Society Prize.

Mark writes, “I couldn’t be more honored and excited to serve as co-editor of the JER, which has been such an important part of my professional life, at least since I was a graduate student anxiously navigating the peer-review process as a prospective author. The anonymous reviewers and the editors (Jon Wells and David Waldstreicher) with whom I worked on my submissions taught me much about how to critically but supportively nurture work into publishable form. (I needed all the help I could get!) I took away from those experiences an appreciation for the massive amounts of only somewhat visible work that makes the field go around. Since then, I’ve been lucky to work with the Journal in various capacities and learn how to be a good citizen of the profession from Cathy Kelley, Johann Neem, Ron Johnson, Andy Shankman, and so many others on the board and masthead teams. I’m grateful to be working with Lindsay, someone who I could not admire more, to continue the existing work of navigating the Journal through a changing (and catastrophically challenging) historical profession and public history landscape.”

Meet @shiralurie.bsky.social, one of our #JERFall2025 authors! In her article “William Bonham’s Republic: Defining Politics in the Whiskey Rebellion,” Lurie considers whether revolutionary tactics still had a place in the emergent Republic. Learn more at: muse.jhu.edu/pub/12/artic...

Shira Lurie (she/her) is an Associate Professor of United States History at Saint Mary’s University and the Special Series Editor for the “Road to 250” series for Made by History at TIME Magazine. Lurie’s research focuses on popular politics, protest, the meaning of democracy.

Her book, The American Liberty Pole: Popular Politics and the Struggle for Democracy in the Early Republic (UVA Press, 2023), explores how Americans used protest symbols and grassroots organization to contest the limits of political legitimacy in the new nation.

In her Fall ‘25 JER article, “William Bonham’s Republic: Defining Politics in the Whiskey Rebellion,” Lurie examines how neighbors in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, clashed over what political participation should look like under a republican government, and whether the methods of revolutionary-era dissent still had a place.

Meet another one of our #JERFall2025 authors — Jacqueline Beatty, whose “Rethinking the Gender of Politics” challenges us to reconsider how we define political power in the early republic. Read on Project Muse: muse.jhu.edu/article/9693...

Meet the Author tile for Jacqueline Beatty - "Jacqueline Beatty teaches early American, women’s and gender, and public history at York College of Pennsylvania. She also consults with public history organizations like Revolutionary Spaces and the York History Center.

Her first book, In Dependence: Women and the Patriarchal State in Revolutionary America (NYU Press, 2023), shows how women in Boston, Philadelphia, and Charleston used their legal and social dependency to negotiate power and challenge patriarchal systems.
Beatty is currently working on two new projects: Twenty-Five Women Who Shaped the American Revolution (Routledge) and Engendering Orientalism in the Empire of Liberty.
In her Fall ‘25 JER article, “Rethinking the Gender of Politics,” Beatty urges a recentering of women’s activism in the Early Republic, challenging the idea that politics was inherently masculine and calling for a more inclusive framework for political history.
