SJ CELEBRATES ITS 40TH ANNIVERSARY!
Dear Friends,
We are writing with very exciting news. First of all, we are celebrating the40th anniversary of our journal! We feel proud to have navigated four decades of momentous political, social, and cultural changes, adapting to the challenges of the time without ever compromising on the quality of our critical scholarship and the rigor of our analysis.
As we look forward to our next 40 years, we are making an effort to extend our reach and to attune our journal to the demands of the digital era. We recently revamped our website, digitized our issues for immediate download, started a new blog, launched this newsletter, and increased our presence on social media. We are in the process of bringing new energy to our Advisory Boards and extending our networks; and we made more room in our issues for individual submissions dealing with emerging topics. Finally, we reintroduced a strong visual element on our covers and are now collaborating with a new, politically minded printing service that uses recycled paper and inks.
There are many ways you can be involved with our journal and support our work. You may:
* Subscribe (or ask your academic institution to subscribe)
* Submit your work for consideration
And if you are attending the Law and Society Conference in Minneapolis this weekend, come visit us at the book exhibit and take advantage of our special discounts!
Thank you for these great years,
SJ Editors
