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. 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. With best wishes, the team of ACH https://tidsskrift.dk/ageculturehumanities/announcement/view/1216 Wed, 23 Oct 2024 20:31:36 +0200 Sneak Preview! https://tidsskrift.dk/ageculturehumanities/announcement/view/1171 Age, Culture, Humanities has been brewing up a new forum! The topic: The US American Election, which is more timely than ever, not least because age is so central to the discussions about who should – or should not – be president. 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 Kathleen Woodward and Margaret Gullette to be published very soon. They will be followed by contributions by Stephen Katz in conversation with Andrew Achenbaum, Kate de Medeiros, Valerie Lipscomb, Cynthia Port and Jørn Brøndal. And, to whet your appetite, listen to our first-ever interview to be published both in a transcribed and an audio version on Age, Culture, Humanities.
