Dr Wootton will formally take up the new job next week, and has been mentored by the outgoing publisher, Rachel Scott, over the past two weeks, to prepare for the role. Dr Wootton was last year awarded her University of Otago PhD for research that explored language and the imagination as essential forms of human movement. Dr Wootton, who is a former physiotherapist and acupuncturist, said the new role gave her a chance to bring together different parts of her background.
