Four new editors appointed to Society journals
We are delighted to announce the appointment of four new editors to the RGS-IBG journal portfolio.
Professor Sarah Hall (University of Cambridge) and Professor James Esson (Queen Mary University of London) will be joining Professor Ben Anderson and Professor Beth Greenhough at Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers. Sarah and James bring a wealth of experience and breadth of expertise to the journal in economic, development and political geography.
Dr Mel Rohse (Anglia Ruskin University) and Dr Nathan Thomas (Edge Hill University) will be joining Dr Laurie Parsons and Dr Christopher Darvill at Geo: Geography and Environment. Mel and Nathan have research expertise in sustainable resource geographies, GIS and remote sensing, as well as a keen interest in supporting interdisciplinary research within the journal.
We would also like to thank our outgoing editors for their time and commitment to the journals: Professor Katherine Brickell at Transactions and Professor Karen Bickerstaff and Professor Le Yu at Geo: Geography and Environment.
