We are delighted to announce the appointment of John Gallagher (Leeds) as Editor of Renaissance Studies, together with Elizabeth Petcu (Edinburgh) as Associate Editor. John will take up his role in January 2026, while Elizabeth has recently taken up the post; their range and depth of disciplinary and interdisciplinary expertise, from history and languages to art history, architecture and scientific inquiry. We are excited to see the new directions in which they will take the Society’s journal. And we congratulate and thank our brilliant current editorial team, Kevin Killeen (York) and Cecilia Muratori (Pavia) for five years of superb editorial work on the journal, which has gone from strength to strength, and wish them every success with their next projects.
