Dear esteemed members of the Editorial Board,
I'm happy to report that we have some very exciting special issues lined up for 2015 and 2016.
FMH 1.1 -- featuring the work of a new generation of feminist media historians
FMH 1.2 -- Special Issue on "Useful Media" edited by Laura Isabel Serna
FMH 1.3 -- Special Issue on "New Materialisms" edited by Caetlin Benson-Allott
FMH 1.4 -- Special Issue on "Audio" edited by Michele Hilmes
and coming in 2016.....issues on Digital Archives (edited by Victoria Duckett and Jill Julius Matthews), Found Materials (edited by Monica D'all Asta and Alessandra Chiarini) and Costume and Fashion (edited by Drake Stutesman).
I am also writing with a (rather urgent!) request: two contributors have dropped out of our inaugural issue, one very recently. Since the issue is intended to highlight scholarship by up-and-coming feminist media historians, can you recommend any junior colleagues or graduate students who are doing particularly interesting work? And who would be able to turn around an article in the next month? I'm especially interested in folks working on media other than film --TV, radio, video, digital media, games, etc. -- but at this point I can't afford to be too choosy! The production deadline looms.....
Thanks, as always, for your guidance,
Shelley
