NEW EDITOR OF SEEJ

[Kevin Platt]

ANNOUNCEMENT: NEW EDITOR OF SLAVIC AND EAST EUROPEAN JOURNAL

On behalf of Sarah Pratt, President of AATSEEL, and the AATSEEL
Executive Council, it is my pleasure to announce that as of July 1
Professor Gerald Janecek of the University of Kentucky will become the
editor of Slavic and East European Journal for a period of three years
(with a possible extension thereafter).

Professor Janecek brings a wealth of experience to the post of editor.
In his distinguished career he has published a large number of books and
articles devoted to Russian avant garde culture, with particular
emphasis on the interrelationship of literature with music and visual
art. In addition to his extensive and impressive academic administrative
work, Professor Janecek's administrative experience includes a term as
book review editor of SEEJ, as well as service on the editorial boards
of SEEJ and other publications.

Joining Professor Janecek on the editorial team, John Bartle of Hamilton
College will become the Associate Editor for Book Reviews as of August
1, and Professor Gilbert Rappaport of the University of Texas at Austin
will take the post of Associate Editor for Linguistics as of July 1.
Prof. Benjamin Rifkin of the University of Wisconsin will continue on in
his current position of Associate Editor for Pedagogy.

Professor Janecek has been working with the outgoing editorial team of
SEEJ to effect a smooth transition over the summer. Please consult the
new addresses for SEEJ correspondence and their effective dates below.

It is also fitting to express thanks here to the many parties whose
extraordinary work has steadied the course of SEEJ since Steve Baehr’s
tragic and untimely death last year. The profession owes an immeasurable
debt of gratitude to the outgoing editorial team, including Sibelan
Forrester, Wayles Browne, Benjamin Rifkin, Christopher Syrnyk, and
especially Irene Masing-Delic, who assumed the post of interim editor
last summer with nearly no advance notice. Thanks should also  be given
to Virginia Tech for continuing to support SEEJ over the course of a
difficult year.

Please join me in thanking these colleagues, and in welcoming Professor
Janecek, Professor Bartle and Professor Rappaport to their new
positions.
