When she gave her Morgan Lectures at University of Rochester a number of years ago, she started off rejecting even "anthropology" and declared herself more aligned to Cultural Studies. Her term as AAA president will be interesting, I'm sure.... I’m not surprised that Dominguez is implicated in the title change.

Perfect for those rides in my vintage leather-seated convertible down the coast to Irvine! I'm actually thinking about redoing the cover of AA in the next year or two, so it's interesting to see the reactions to AE's new cover, and CA's too... I hadn't thought about what kind of apparel tie-in possibilities I should consider. I know what a thankless task journal editing can be, and think that Don and the AE Ed Board are doing a great job.

The whole sans-serif, lower-case schtick was only just becoming retro-cool after 20 years of being absurdly outdated. I say make those sunglasses with brown half-tinting and Paris Hilton big big big! “Yet another new cover”?

I could envision a oversize necklace pendant too. I think that Don Donham is going to do a great job, but I wish that he (and Virginia Dominguez) had not taken this stance on the word ethnologist, which for me is a badge of honor and a link to several distinguished, progressive scholarly traditions. I'd rather the journal have served as a forum for thinking through the different meanings that ethnology can take in international context. The term means different things in different national contexts and it thus provides a chance for AE to overcome the America-centrism that Donham (and Dominguez) also are trying to evade. As a modest example, Asian Folklore Studies recently changed its name to Asian Ethnology as a way of connecting more broadly to, for instance, European inflections of the word.
