We have already begun the work involved with the editorial transition.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; ">Ann Weatherall is a Reader in Social Psychology at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand where she has worked since 1994. Her research areas are conversation analysis (CA), discursive psychology and feminist psychology. She has a long standing interest in gender and language issues. One of her first studies reported an experimental study of the semantic derogation of words for women (1993, Journal Language and Social Psychology). Her PhD (1994) examined gender and language in popular culture. One of her most significant works is a solo-authored book (2002, <i><span style="font-style: italic; ">Gender, language and discourse</span></i>). Her empirical investigations have included quantitative and qualitative studies. My current research passion is Conversation Analysis, which offers both insights and challenges to the gender and language field. She hopes her broad research and publishing history will be a valuable asset to <i><span style="font-style: italic; ">Gender and Language. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; "> She notes that she is</span></span></i> looking forward to her editorial role and the opportunity it affords to support feminist gender and language research and further develop <i><span style="font-style: italic; ">Gender and Language </span></i>as a key journal for feminist language research.</span></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; "><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; ">My thanks to those of you on the board who agreed to serve on the search committee for this position!</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; "><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Times New Roman'" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 16px; ">And, again, another warm thanks to Sara Mill for her intensive work on the journal, and for the field.
