<p class="x_MsoNormal">Dear colleagues, </p> <p class="x_MsoNormal">We are pleased to share some news: </p> <p class="x_MsoNormal">Heunjung Lee will join our editorial team and work side by side with Katherine Ludwin as editorial assistant. Heun has a background in performance studies and is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Calgary in Canada. We look forward to working with Heun and are pleased to see our team expanding as we are handling an increase of submissions in 2024. </p> <p class="x_MsoNormal">The journal was recently accredited by Scopus and will soon be listed as a Scopus-indexed journal. This will grant our journal and authors a wider visibility through databases and search engines. We are grateful for this suggestion, which was shared with us by anonymous colleagues in our 2023 survey. Since many funding organisms prioritize work published in Scopus-indexed journals, we hope that this will increase submissions to the journal. </p> <p class="x_MsoNormal">With best wishes,</p> <p class="x_MsoNormal">the team of ACH</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;"><em>Age, Culture, Humanities </em>has been brewing up a new forum! The topic: <strong>The US American Election</strong>, which is more timely than ever, not least because age is so central to the discussions about who should – or should not – be president.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Under the title “Too old for the job? The 2024 US American Presidential Elections,” we lined up a prominent group of colleagues, who have generously accepted our invitation to write short comments and reflections. Expect the pieces by <em>Kathleen Woodward</em> and <em>Margaret Gullette</em> to be published very soon.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">They will be followed by contributions by <em>Stephen Katz</em> in conversation with <em>Andrew Achenbaum, Kate de Medeiros, Valerie Lipscomb, Cynthia Port and Jørn Brøndal.</em></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">And, to whet your appetite, <strong>listen</strong> to our first-ever interview to be published <em>both</em> in a transcribed and an audio version on <em>Age, Culture, Humanities</em>. The interview is with Ashton Applewhite, and <strong>the audiofile is available under this <a title="Interview" href="https://tidsskrift.dk/ageculturehumanities/libraryFiles/downloadPublic/193">link</a></strong>. The transcribed version of the interview will follow soon. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Please spread the word and direct your colleagues and friends to our journal!</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"> </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Aagje Swinnen and Anita Wohlmann,</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">on behalf of the entire ACH-crew</p>
