Dobratz new co-editor of ‘The Sociological Quarterly’

Betty A. Dobratz, Iowa State, and Lisa K. Waldner, University of St. Thomas, have begun work as new co-editors of the Midwest Sociological Society’s flagship journal, "The Sociological Quarterly." Dobratz and Waldner were selected from a field of several applicants by the Publications Committee in the spring of 2011. “We’re learning very fast about what it means to be a generalist sociological publication,” said Dobratz. “The biggest challenge has been the sheer number and variety of manuscripts.” Their first co-edited issue will be distributed to members and subscribers in January.
