Dear Colleagues I'm writing to update you about recent editorial changes at History of the Human Sciences and to invite new submissions to the journal (details below). If anyone would like to discuss potential submissions informally please feel free to contact me via email. With all good wishes, Rhodri *HISTORY OF THE HUMAN SCIENCES *aims to expand our understanding of the human world through a broad interdisciplinary approach. The journal publishes articles from a wide range of fields – including sociology, psychology, anthropology, political science, philosophy, literary theory and criticism, critical theory, art history, linguistics, and the law – that engage with the histories of these disciplines and the interactions between them. The journal is especially concerned with research that reflexively examines its own historical origins and interdisciplinary influences in an effort to review current practice and to develop new research directions. James Good, the editor of History of the Human Sciences for 15 years, will be stepping down at the end of 2014. The incoming editors are: Dr Felicity Callard <http://hhs.sagepub.com/site/Editor_bios/Felicity%2520Callard%2520.pdf> (Durham University) [Editor-in-Chief], Dr Rhodri Hayward <http://hhs.sagepub.com/site/Editor_bios/Rhodri%2520Hayward.pdf> (Queen Mary University of London), Dr Angus Nicholls <http://hhs.sagepub.com/site/Editor_bios/Angus%2520Nicholls%2520works%2520in%2520the%2520Departments%2520of%2520Comparative%2520Literature%2520and%2520German.pdf> (Queen Mary University of London).
