Society, as former liaison for the Society of Early Americanists to the Society for the Study of American Women Writers (2014–17), and as chair of the DEI transition team for the Renaissance Society of America, to name a few. She is also an outgoing member of the EAL Editorial Board and a coeditor, with Brigitte Fielder and Tara Bynum, of its most recent special issue, titled “‘Dear Sister’: Phillis Wheatley (Peters) Studies Now.” Cassie writes: “I am thrilled to be working with Katy Chiles to continue the scholarly excellence of EAL. This journal has been an invaluable resource for me from the moment I entered graduate school. As part of the new editorial team, I am committed to ensuring that the journal remains a valuable and relevant resource for established scholars and for those just entering the world of early American studies.” Coeditor Katy Chiles is an associate professor of English at the University of Tennessee and an affiliate of the Department of Africana Studies. Her areas of specialization include early American literary studies, African American and Native American literature, critical race theory, and print cultures. Her book, Transformable Race: Surprising Metamorphoses in the Literatures of Early America, was published by Oxford University Press in 2014, and her work has appeared in PMLA, Early American Literature, American Literature, Race in American Literature and Culture (Cambridge UP, 2022), and African American Literature in Transition, vol. 1: 1750–1800 (Cambridge UP, 2022). She is currently working on another book project that examines race, collaboration, and print history in early American literature, which has been supported by a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellowship. Katy has served as chair of the Advisory Council for the American Literature Society and co-organized UT’s Phillis Wheatley Poetry Project, a collaborative program with the Knoxville YWCA Phillis Wheatley Center Youth Program. Since 2018, when I began as editor, Katy has also served as Coeditor for Reviews of EAL. She writes: “I am honored and humbled to be joining with Cassander Smith as coeditor of Early American Literature. I hope not only to extend the more than fifty-year tradition of publishing top scholarship at EAL but also to continue featuring new methodologies, objects of study, and communities of scholars.” Joining Professor Smith and Professor Chiles as the journal’s Book Review Editor starting with issue 59.1 is Professor Emily Garcia. An associate professor at Northeastern Illinois University, Dr. Garcia specializes in the areas of early American literature, Latina/o/x and Latin American Studies,
