I am pleased to announce that Ann Weatherall has agreed to accept the position of co-editor of GENDER AND LANGUAGE, effective Sept. 1.   We have already begun the work involved with the editorial transition.


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, Gender, language and discourse).  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 Gender and Language.  She notes that she
 is looking forward to her editorial role and the opportunity it affords to support feminist gender and language research and further develop Gender and Language as a key journal for feminist language research.


My thanks to those of you on the board who agreed to serve on the search committee for this position!


And, again, another warm thanks to Sara Mill for her intensive work on the journal, and for the field.  We all look forward to reading the results of some of her current research projects!  She has just published  Language and Sexism (2008), and  is currently working on a book on discursive models of politeness, an edited book with Kadar on East Asian Politeness, an edited book with the Linguistic Politeness Research group on post-Brown and Levinson appraoches to politeness, and a book with Grainger on indirectness.


Best,
Bonnie
