"Ten years ago, the founders of the Business and Human Rights Journal realized their vision of creating a forum for rigorous scholarly debate on the key issues shaping this growing academic field.

"The Business and Human Rights Journal plays a vital role in advancing critical scholarship on one of the most pressing issues of our time: how to ensure that global business respects and promotes human rights.

"I have followed the trajectory of the Business and Human Rights Journal since its beginning- partly from the inside as the Book Review Editor and from the outside as a contributor and reader. The journal has developed tremendously and pushed the human rights agenda forward. I am excited to work in an interdisciplinary team at the Business and Human Rights Journal. I am committed to stay true to its goals and legacy, all the while maintaining the highest academic standards."
