    '‘I’ve been invited to edit the Australasian Drama Studies journal.’

    ‘Great! How does it rank?’

    'The changing of the guard in the editorship of this journal offers the opportunity to consider its mission, its form, its value and its position in an increasingly challenging and stringent research environment. Here, outgoing editors Julian Meyrick and Meredith Rogers, and incoming editor Yoni Prior, offer thoughts about the past, present and future of Australasian Drama Studies in a moment of transition: between editors; between past and present locations; between print and digital publication; and between positions in the rankings game.   In 1992 I attended my first ADSA conference, at Wollongong University. By then the Association was over ten years old. As a beginner in the academy, I felt I was joining a robust community of scholars with hefty credentials in the history of theatre, textual analysis and the still emerging field of performance studies. But alongside the evident depth and generosity of the scholarship, there was also a sociability and playfulness not always found among researchers, as well as a sense of tradition and continuity so relatively recently established. There were intriguing rumours of fabled events at past conferences, including the existence of a photograph of massed nude theatre scholars on a Western Australian beach, though the evidence has never been sighted by this researcher.' (Rick, Juli Anmey; Prior, Yoni and Rogers, Meredith. Editorial)
