Editor’s Corner

Before writing this last “Editor’s Corner,” I began reflecting on my six-

year journey on the Editorial Board. When I applied to join the Board,

I had little idea what I was actually signing up for. I am delighted that it

turned out to be such a positive experience. I knew I would be editing

articles, but I did not realize I would also be meeting so many new col-

leagues and friends. I did not realize that I would zealously hone my

somewhat faded blue-booking skills to the point that I can spot an

incorrectly italicized period with one eye closed. And I did not realize I

would read a staggering breadth of scholarship from authors all over

the world.

I think the biggest surprise was how much I enjoyed reading so

much scholarship from outside my area of expertise. Admittedly, not all

the articles were ready for prime time, but each piece has a story to tell

and a world to expose to me. Choosing which pieces to publish turned

out to be far more challenging that I had anticipated. Consistently, the

most rewarding part of the process for me was working with our

authors, both as an Articles Editor, and this year as Editor in Chief to

help their pieces shine; it was a pleasure and a privilege.

This journal is a massive undertaking, and it is an entirely team

effort. I want to thank this year’s fabulous Editorial Board: Laurie

Lucas, Julie Magid, Gideon Mark, Terence Lau, and David Orozco for

all their hard work this year. The team at Wiley was incredible too—

thanks to Maxine Idakus, Mildred Bayas, Princess Robie Balais,

Elizabeth Welch, and Michael Streeter for all their help. And finally, I

could not have done this without the superlative help of Chris Cash,

Keith Dominguez, Michael Schechner, and Victoria Short for the first

three volumes, and Taylor Cary, MaryAnne Santini, and Deanna Wolf

for 54:4. I am indebted to you all.
