Joyce Trebilcot, 1933-2009
It is with regret that we report the sad news of Joyce Trebilcot's death on May 27, 2009. Joyce was a founding member of the Hypatia Editorial Board when the first issue of the journal went to press in 1986, and she joined the Associate Editors the following year. She served as an AE until 2003. Her contributions to feminist philosophy and to Hypatia are enormous; we'll have a chance to recognize them at the 25th anniversary conference next fall. For now, here is a link to Joyce's obituary.

We’re happy to announce that Hypatia is now published by Wiley-Blackwell. This new partnership is opening up a number of new possibilities for Hypatia. Here are the highlights.

Electronic submission and review system – Manuscript Central: Hypatia has now implemented this online system for handling the editorial process.

Referees now have online access to manuscripts they agree to review and can submit their reports and recommendations electronically.

EarlyView: As we shift the editorial process to Wiley-Blackwell, articles accepted for publication in Hypatia will be available through WB’s EarlyView system as soon as they’ve been copy-edited and typeset – well before publication of the print issue.
Supplementary content: Authors of accepted manuscripts may now supplement their articles with graphics or text, links and other background material, that will appear online. For details and submission guidelines, please follow this link:

New Hypatia Website: Wiley-Blackwell is in the process of developing a new web platform that they plan to launch next summer. This will make possible a number of other web-based initiatives that we have in view for Hypatia. We’ll be able to post news of upcoming articles and issues, assemble key contents in “virtual issues,” and host interactive discussion boards. Here is the link to our interim website; we’ll keep you posted as the new site takes shape.

Circulation: Make Sure Your Library Subscribes to Hypatia
In addition to giving Hypatia a strong profile in both philosophy and feminist studies, Wiley-Blackwell has an impressive international distribution network and is committed to making Hypatia inexpensively available to scholars in the developing world. But we also need to build our circulation at home. Please check to make sure that your library has a current subscription to Hypatia through Wiley-Blackwell. If not, we’d be grateful if you’d follow either of these two library recommendation links, and also contact your serials acquisition librarian directly.
