The Huntington Library Quarterly, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press,is welcoming a new editor in chief and editorial board. On July 1, Brett Rushforth became the journal’s new editor in chief. The journal has also announced a new editorial board, staffed by sixteen eminent scholars of early modern art, literature, history, science, medicine, and material culture. They represent the best of what has made the HLQ a highly valued journal among researchers in the US and Britain, with more than 150,000 annual article downloads. They also signal a new direction for the HLQ, which is expanding to embrace broader and more diverse fields of inquiry, including scholarship rooted in Continental Europe, the African Diaspora, and the Indigenous Americas, informed by critical approaches to colonialism and power in the early modern world. As advisors and advocates, they will help guide editor Brett Rushforth, as he leads the HLQ from its headquarters at The Huntington. A new partnership with the USC-Huntington Early Modern Studies Institute places the journal at the heart of one of North America’s most vibrant communities of early modern researchers.
