The Journal of the History of Philosophy completed the celebration of its 50th volume earlier this year. Each issue in 2012 featured an essay from a former editor with his thoughts on the milestone. Issue 4, released earlier this fall, featured a reflection from Tad Schmaltz, who served as editor from 2003 to 2010. He joined us to talk about his tenure at the helm of the journal and other reflections on the anniversary.
The journal Theory and Event recently published a symposium of essays on the killing of Florida teen
Trayvon Martin earlier this year.
The symposium brought together an array of contemporary theorists - Anna Marie Smith, Anne Norton, Michael Hanchard, Stephen H. Marshall, Ange-Marie Hancock, Mark Reinhardt, Christopher J. Lebron, and George Ciccariello-Maher - to demonstrate ongoingness of theorizing, the ways we are always to an extent in the middle of the events we endeavor to understand. Guest editor Neil Roberts joined us to talk about the symposium.
Feminist Formations held a special event at the University of Arizona in early September to celebrate the release of the first journal issue since the new editorial team fully took over the publication. Feminist Formations, which is publishing its 24th volume, moved from the University of Minnesota to the University of Arizona last year. Editor Sandra K. Soto, Associate Professor of Gender and Women's Studies at Arizona, welcomed staff from JHUP to Tucson for the event and talked about the celebration and the journal's future.
