Meet SSJ’s Incoming Editor
Dr Audrey Giles
I am incredibly excited to become the next Editor of SSJ! I still have vivid memories of being a PhD student and submitting (with trembling hands!) my first manuscript to SSJ. I can’t quite believe that I now have the honour of following in the footsteps of so many fantastic past Editors, but especially those of Dr. Cheryl Cooky, from whom I’ve learned so much as an Associate Editor. I’m grateful for the selection committee’s support, and I look forward to working with so many amazing scholars as we collectively shape our fantastic journal’s future.
