All of us at EHN hope that you are having a wonderful holiday season as we approach the New Year!
As you may have heard, Genie Yoo will be stepping down as Editor-in-Chief after serving for two years. Here is her final message.
To the EHN community:
As we prepare to ring in the New Year, we have some exciting news.
It has been two years since Elizabeth Hameeteman, EHN’s founder, offered me the role of Editor-in-Chief. I still remember our initial discussions. I could not imagine EHN without Elizabeth, the heart and soul of this incredible intellectual community; yet, in her generosity, she had the foresight to realize that EHN, as a platform dedicated to those who identify as woman, trans, and nonbinary, had to be independent and sustainable without relying on any specific individual. This always had to be a team effort. We understood that this required a new publication structure and a collective of devoted members. The latter manifested itself in the form of a superb executive team. Over the past two years, we have stabilized EHN’s workflow, publication schedule, and structure, while recruiting new members to both editorial and review teams. It is now the perfect time for me to step down and to encourage new ideas, directions, and energy. I am excited to announce that Teja Šosterič, who has been our Executive Content Editor, will be EHN’s new Editor-in-Chief. I am equally thrilled that Katie Kung, who has been one of our Content Editors, will serve as our new Executive Content Editor.
It has been a blessing and a pleasure to work for this platform and community. I am especially grateful to Elizabeth Hameeteman and the executive team – Teja Šosterič, Deniz Karakaş, Emma Moesswilde, and Ramya Swayamprakash – all of whom served as constant sources of inspiration and support. I similarly appreciate our tireless content and review editors, whose expertise and consistent attention to detail I admire. Finally, I would like to thank you – our contributors and readers – who have made this journey intellectually enriching. I so value the community I’ve found here and am beyond confident that EHN’s best days are ahead.
In gratitude, your outgoing Editor-in-Chief,
Genie Yoo
