New JBS Editors

We are delighted to announce the selection of the next editors for the Journal of British Studies. Nadja Durbach (University of Utah) and Tammy M. Proctor (Utah State University) will serve as co-editors. Their five-year term will begin July 1, 2023.

We want to take this opportunity to thank our current editors, Sandra den Otter (Queen’s University) and Jeff Collins (Queen’s University) for their efforts over the past years and their leadership during the unpredictable challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Please note that the transition to a new editorial team will not affect submissions in progress. The JBS book review editors, Onni Gust (University of Nottingham) and David Gehring (University of Nottingham) will remain the same until the conclusion of their term.
