Editors
Animus is produced by a permanent editorial board of five editors, who took over editorial duties from the founding editorial board in 2008. Volume 12 is the first Animus volume under this editorial board, and it is the works of these editors exclusively. Subsequent issues of Animus will include editorial contributions from scholars outside this group of editors, but the ultimate authorization and responsibility for the content of the Journal remains with this permanent board:
