We are thrilled to take on the position of Co-Editors of Language in Society. Our aim is to cultivate the theoretical and methodological breadth that has characterized Language in Society since its inception by encouraging publications that span the gamut of sociolinguistic inquiry, from variationist sociolinguistics to critical discourse analysis and linguistic anthropology. There are areas, however, that we feel are underrepresented in the journal. We would like address some of these gaps by commissioning special issues of the journal from leading scholars in sociolinguistics on topics such as socio-phonetics, linguistic variation and embodiment, multimodality, raciolinguistics, language and globalization, the political economy of multilingualism, and language and affect. In the same way, while we are committed to publishing cutting-edge work from North America, the United Kingdom and Europe, we also plan to further broaden the geopolitical range of the articles in the journal. Because of Tommaso’s ties with the Global South, we want to actively expand the geopolitical breadth of the Editorial Board in order to increase the number of submissions from countries that are currently underrepresented in the journal.
