From the Editors: Revamping The California Geographer

We are pleased to present the 2018 edition of The California Geographer. In this volume, representing the second year of our co-editorship, we have moved forward in revamping the journal. An important, foundational step has been revitalizing the editorial board, infusing it with fresh blood -- four of the seven board members are new this year -- in the process of articulating a set of concrete duties and expectations. We thank Robert Voeks, Gregory Bohr, and James Keese for graciously agreeing to continue their valuable service on the board, ensuring continuity and institutional memory; and we welcome new members Robin Datel, Kathleen Farley, Ian Dunham, and Lilly House-Peters.
