Welcome to issue 18 of Polare.

After our last edition (17), I resigned as editor of Polare and am no longer working at The Gender Centre. I would like to thank the staff at the Centre, who over the last 12 months, have shown me great support. I regret that I can no longer choose to function as Resource Development Worker, and have based my decision to leave on the fact that I have seen too many Gender Centre staff suffer at the hands of community abuse and pressure. I can no longer work in an environment that has been subjected to so much unjust harassment. My own position as editor of Polare was not exempt from the thorny talons of politics. With a new Management Committee, (almost completely changed since last years A.G.M.), there is hope that the Centre may rise above the divisiveness that has rocked its foundations. I also welcome George into my role, and am certain that he will take Polare to new heights of professionalism and quality reading. I wish him the greatest success.
