Articles of War Editorial Board Changes
Managing Editor
We are pleased to congratulate Professor Jenny Maddocks on joining the faculty of the University of Reading School of Law. She will fit perfectly with the already formidable team of international law scholars at Reading. We will miss her greatly at the Lieber Institute and West Point Department of Law and Philosophy. Jenny has been an invaluable colleague and friend to us all while quickly becoming a cadet favorite at the Academy. Her scholarly production has been no less impressive, including two forthcoming volumes of our Lieber Studies series, a definitive article in International Law Studies, and of course, highly influential Articles of War posts and series. Jenny has brought unsurpassed commitment, professionalism, and precision to everything she has done and leaves an indelible mark on the leaders she has instructed and those of us who have had the great fortune to work with her.
We are grateful that Jenny will continue to serve in an editorial capacity with Articles of War as an Executive Editor. She is a world-class editor and gifted author. For years, contributors to Articles of War have benefitted from her careful and always considerate work, as have we. Her service as Editor, then Managing Editor coincided with immense growth in our coverage and volume of posts, none of which would have been possible without her. We will be eternally grateful for her work in those roles and look forward to her continued involvement with Articles of War.
We are delighted to announce that Liisi Adamson will succeed Jenny as Managing Editor. Liisi has served as a Senior Editor for four years, almost since the beginning of Articles of War. Our contributors already know her well from her very professional correspondence, editing, and technical support to their posts. Our readers will know her work well also. More than anyone else, she has been responsible for the unmistakable look of Articles of War, including the site layout and the photos we curate so carefully. She has also been entirely responsible for our email newsletters, social media accounts, and site performance. No one is better qualified to follow Jenny in the important role of Managing Editor and we look forward to sharing her incomparable professionalism, keen editorial and legal mind, and warm personality with our readers and contributors more directly.
Senior Editor
Finally, we are pleased to welcome Stacy Runia to Articles of War as a Senior Editor. Stacy is a graduate of the Brigham Young University School of Law. She has already published articles on a variety in international law subjects and brings exceptional editorial and writing skill and experience to our board of editors. Stacy will assist with editing, curation of posts and series, and correspondence for Articles of War. We are already impressed with her commitment and talents and look forward to sharing these with you, our readers and contributors.
We hope you will find an opportunity to congratulate each of these valued Lieber Institute and Articles of War colleagues of ours on these exciting professional developments.
