Public Affairs Quarterly (PAQ) has a new editor-in-chief: Jessica Flanigan (University of Richmond).
Jason Brennan (Georgetown), who had been the editor-in-chief of PAQ, is stepping down from the position. Readers may recall he recently became editor-in-chief of Philosophy & Public Affairs.
Professor Flanigan asked that the following message about PAQ be shared:
As always, Public Affairs Quarterly invites philosophical research on any topics related to ethics and public policy, including business ethics, PPE, the philosophy of race, bioethics, public health ethics, the philosophy of sex, egalitarianism, the philosophy of education, and political philosophy, more generally. We are especially interested in submissions that break new ground by addressing timely topics and creative essays that are accessible to non-specialist readers. We encourage early-career scholars to send their work to PAQ. We are focused on evaluating essays quickly and providing high-quality editorial feedback for all essays that are sent for review
The change in editor-in-chief is effective immediately.
Among the various reasons I like this journal, I’ve always been a fan of the salmon color on the top of cover of its issues. I find it warm and soothing. They sent me a physical copy of the journal (sent it all the way to India!) when I published an article in it, so I get to see the color on the bookshelf in my office, in addition to seeing it on my computer whenever I go to the journal’s site to read an article.
Jess Flanigan is a phenomenal choice.
Looking forward to reading the new issues, and in the meantime, congrats to PAQ!
