Woohoo, it’s official! The board of the Society of Cinema and Media Studies has selected Liz Ellcessor (University of Virgina) and myself as the new incoming co-editors-in-chief of the Journal of Cinema and Media Studies – the premier peer-reviewed academic journal in the field of media studies. It’s an amazing honor to be selected and I’m so excited to embark on this new adventure with a great co-editor. Editors-in-chief are chosen for five-year terms (2021 – 2026), so I’ll be in the position long enough to hopefully help bring a lot of new, meaningful change to the journal, building off of what the fabulous last editorial team accomplished.
This will also the first time that the journal has a game studies and/or a disability studies (Liz’s specialty) scholar at the helm. Watch out, media studies, here we come!
