Katharina Volk Named Editor of TAPA
As Chair of the Search Committee, I am happy to report that Prof. Katharina Volk of Columbia University has accepted our invitation to become the next Editor of the Transactions of the American Philological Association. Professor Volk is a distinguished and very productive scholar of ancient literature and its intersections with other aspects of ancient culture. Prof. Volk's term as Editor will run from January 9, 2010 to January 5, 2014. An announcement concerning the transition of responsibility from current Editor Paul Allen Miller to Prof. Volk and protocol for submission of manuscripts has been published on the web site and will appear in the Association Newsletter.
I want to thank the other members of the Search Committee (Kurt Raaflaub, Maria Pantelia, Peter White, and Adam Blistein) for their assistance in the completion of this successful search. I also very much appreciate the interest that the Committee saw from the other highly qualified candidates for this position. Finally, we are grateful to Department of Classics of Columbia for its support of the arrangements necessary to enable Professor Volk to accept this position.
