Abstract
This is the final issue for the current editorial team. It has been our honor to support the field through our work on this journal for the past three years. We want to thank all the members of our team, including all the assistant editors who have worked with us during this time. We also want to thank UCLA’s Division of Social Sciences for supporting our work and making it possible. We are proud of the scholarship published here during our tenure and are especially proud of those scholars who persevered through the pandemic to produce this important work.
We are thrilled to announce that Professors Banu Bargu, Kevin Olson, and Massimiliano Tomba will assume editorship of Political Theory in January 2024. Individually, they are terrific scholars who have made lasting contributions to the field. Together, they promise to bring penetrating depth and exciting breadth to the job. Banu is a professor in the History of Consciousness Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She is the author of Starve and Immolate: The Politics of Human Weapons; her forthcoming book is Disembodiment: Corporeal Politics of Radical Refusal. Kevin is a professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of California, Irvine. His most recent book is Imagined Sovereignties: The Power of the People and Other Myths of the Modern Age; his forthcoming book is Subaltern Silence: A Postcolonial Genealogy. Massimiliano is a professor and chair in the History of Consciousness Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz. His most recent book is Insurgent Universality: An Alternative Legacy of Modernity; his forthcoming book is Present Pasts. Anachronism in History and Politics.
Professor Nancy Luxon’s term as books editor also concludes with this issue. We thank Nancy for her highly successful management and leadership of the books section. The new editorial team will name a books editor soon.
We want to offer our renewed gratitude to the committee that selected this new editorial team. The committee was chaired by Kennan Ferguson as well as Emily Beausoleil, Murad Idris, Lida Maxwell, and Benjamin McKean.
During the worst of the pandemic, there was a sharp decline in the number of scholars willing to serve as manuscript reviewers. Sadly, the problem persists. We recognize that everyone has many competing demands on their time. This is especially true of junior and precarious scholars. We hope everyone, particularly those who are secure and supported, will continue to accept our review requests. Writing is often an individual—even a lonely—process. Yet, the journey from paper to article depends on a community of reviewers who are willing to offer close readings, probing questions, and generous suggestions.
We would therefore like to extend our deep gratitude to our reviewers for this journal from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023: Ruth Abbey, Brooke Ackerly, Adriana Alfaro Altamirano, Ira Allen, Andrew Arato, Gordon Arlen, Samuel Bagg, Edward Baptist, Kye Barker, Sara Benson, Amy Berg, Ziyaad Bhorat, Jason Blakely, Adrian Blau, Peter Bloom, Arthur Bradley, P.
