Description

THIS ISSUE MARKS THE END OF my three years as Editor of the Canadian Review of Sociology--Revue Canadienne de Sociologie. It has been interesting and I am, for the most part, glad to have had the experience. This has largely been due to my good fortune to work with a series of highly supportive Canadian Sociological Association Presidents, namely Roberta Hamilton, Pamela Sugiman, and Monica Boyd. There have been times when each of them has been called upon to deal with some issue that arose from the Editorial process, and they have been wise, generous with their time, and supportive in their behaviors. In addition, Harley Dickenson, who served as Managing Editor throughout my first two years as editor and who is now President-Elect, was invaluable in transitioning me into the job and has provided endlessly good advice and good humor at various stages thereafter. I owe him much gratitude. In the past few months Terry Wotherspoon, who took on the Managing Editorship last year, has been similarly supportive. Finally, I owe a very considerable debt of gratitude to Katy-Anne Legun and Christopher Buse, both M.A. graduate students at UBC, who have served as my graduate student assistants during this period. In a very real sense, on a day-to-day basis, they made it happen. It is now over 40 years since I first joined the Canadian Sociological (and Anthropological) Association. It remains my primary intellectual home. In the intervening years, I have had the privilege of serving this Association both as its President and as the Editor of its professional journal--only the second person to serve in both roles. I am grateful to my colleagues for their trust, and have strived to leave behind an organization and a journal that was stronger for my stewardship. However, it now is somewhat of a relief to pass this particular task to my successor--who won't be known until the Executive meets again in late May to ratify the appointment. I hope he or she has the pleasure of working with similarly supportive colleagues and friends. However, as the printer requires that all material for an issue be submitted approximately four to five months ahead of time, I will already have made most of the decisions on the contents of the next two issues. From my own experience, he or she should welcome the opportunity to move into the position gradually.
