handle is hein.journals/ptxa45 and id is 1 raw text is: Editorial Political Theory 2017, Vol. 45(1) 3-4 Letter from the Editor ©2016 SAGE Publications Reprints and permissions: sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1 177/0090591716681898 journals.sagepub.com/home/ptx $SAGE February 2017 I've had the honor of serving as editor of Political Theory since January 2013. I thank all the contributors to the journal for this distinctive opportunity to read and learn from your work. I am grateful to other colleagues who, as reviewers of manuscripts, volunteered their time and lent their thoughts and scholarly advice. I have been fortunate to work with such a thoughtful Executive Editorial Board, and with the Book Review Editor David Owen and with Consulting Editor, Aletta Norval. (It takes a village to keep a journal alive.) Working with Political Theory has broadened my vistas and enlivened my experience of the profession. I am now pleased to announce that Professor Lawrie Balfour will be the next editor of the journal. The selection process included the careful work of the Search Committee (three members from the Executive Editorial Committee, chaired by Neil Roberts) and then an enthusiastic endorsement from me and the entire EEC of its recommendation. Professor Balfour's first issue will be April 2017. Lawrie Balfour, professor of politics at the University of Virginia, is well known to most of you. She is the author of Democracy's Reconstruction: Thinking Politically with W E. B. Du Bois (Oxford University Press) and The Evidence of Things Not Said: James Baldwin and the Promise of American Democracy (Cornell University Press). Her articles on race, gender, and democracy have appeared in Political Theory, Perspectives on Politics, American Political Science Review, Hypatia, The Du Bois Review, and other journals and edited volumes, and she is currently working on a book manu- script on reparations for slavery and Jim Crow, as well as on a range of proj- ects on African American literature and politics. Lawrie Balfour has held fellowships from the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for Afro-American Research, the Center for the Study of Values in Public Life at Harvard Divinity School, the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. She was a member of the Journal ofPolitics editorial board from 2005 to 2007 and 2009 to 2011, and currently serves on the board of Politics, Groups, and Identities. I am confident the journal will thrive under Balfour's leadership.
