The editors wish to announce that they have chosen Dr. Karen Nelson as the new Associate Editor of the Sixteenth Century Journal.  Dr. Nelson is the Associate Director of the Center for Literary and Comparative Studies in the Department of English at the University of Maryland, College Park, where she also teaches various medieval and early modern literature courses. She is the editor of a number of interdisciplinary books, the founding book review editor of Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal, the former webmaster of the Society for the Study of Early Modern Women, a frequent reviewer for the SCJ, and a regular presenter and session organizer at the Sixteenth Century Society and Conference. The editors are also grateful to the nearly 70 people from eight countries who applied for this (unpaid) position, a sign of the broad interest in and loyalty to the SCJ as it nears its fiftieth year of publication.

The application period for the recently advertised position of an associate editor for The Sixteenth Century Journal has come to a close. The editors would like to thank the more than sixty applicants. 

We are reviewing the applications and will make an announcement in a future edition of the SCJ.
