This is a great honour for me. First,&nbsp;this is a historical journal that, since 1975, has&nbsp;been an essential instrument for academic&nbsp;debate in South Africa and beyond. Second,&nbsp;my tenure follows a few years of intense and&nbsp;exciting changes in the structure and purpose of&nbsp;the journal. I followed these changes with much&nbsp;interest, and I wish to build on the foundations&nbsp;laid by my predecessor, Professor Neil Roos, who&nbsp;re-imagined this publication.</p> ER -
