1/15/09 Landscape Journal announces new editorial team. At the annual meeting of the Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture (CELA), the executive council named David Pitt and Lance Neckar, professors in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Minnesota, as co-editors of Landscape Journal. The Minnesota team outlined an approach which expands the paths to authorship for the faculty of the future. In addition, a moderated blog, genius loci, will be developed which will promote expanded discourse across academic and professional territories and countries, offer enlarged opportunities for critical exchange, networking and mentorship, and expand the capacity for the publication of imagery, especially in color. The best-of-the-best submissions to genius loci will find their way to more developed manuscripts. These will, in turn, be presented in moderated sessions on emerging and focused issues at CELA meetings, into peer review, and then into the pages of the Journal.
The editorial team also includes Vince deBritto, managing editor and editor of genius loci, and Sara Grothe, editorial assistant.
