New editorial team and board changes, Studies in Iconography
We would like to share an announcement about changes at the journal Studies in Iconography, the most recent volume of which (no. 41, 2020) appeared this past spring. This was the last volume to be co-edited by Rick Emmerson and Kathryn Smith, who stepped down from the editorial team on July 1 after five years of dedicated service. Together with Pamela Patton, who will continue editing the journal, they oversaw several key developments, including a newly efficient editorial process, higher quality paper and color illustrations for the print journal, the inauguration of simultaneous online publication in 2021, and the publication of exemplary scholarship that showcases the breadth, adventurousness, and impact for which Studies in Iconography aims. Their wisdom, expertise, and creative energies proved vital to these accomplishments, and all involved with the journal thank them heartily.
We likewise thank the members who rotated off the editorial board in July 2020, Charlie Barber, William Diebold, Mitch Merback, Éric Palazzo, and Beth Williamson, and welcome new members María Judith (Luly) Feliciano, Thelma Thomas, and Beatrice Kitzinger. The entire list of board members can be found on the journal’s homepage: https://ima.princeton.edu/studies-in-iconography/.
Finally, we are happy to announce that as of July 1, 2020, Diliana Angelova has joined Patton as co-editor of Studies in Iconography. Angelova is Associate Professor of History of Art and History at the University of California at Berkeley and a specialist in Late Antique and Byzantine art. In addition to numerous articles and essays, she is the author of the monograph Sacred Founders: Women, Men, and Gods in the Discourse of Imperial Founding, Rome through early Byzantium (2015). Her scholarship focuses on gender, power, and the history of ideas, and the ways they inflected the visual, material, and textual cultures of the eastern Mediterranean.
As noted, beginning with volume 42, Studies in Iconography will be published in both print and digital form. In keeping with this, we soon expect to transition to an online submission system and will share news of this change on the website above. We invite ICMA members to review the contents of the latest volume there and hope you will consider submitting your scholarship for future volumes.
