New Social Science Journal editors chosen
Former editor Stephanoie Witt graciously accepted the role when the WSSA found itself unexpectedly in need of a new editor, originally only intending to fill it as an emergency measure, but did such a wonderful job that she later bowed to the Executive Board’s pleas to stay on longer. She is now stepping down, to have more time for her primary career.
Two faculty members of the University of North Dakota have been chosen to take up the role of editors of the Social Science Journal. They are Krista Minotte and Daphne Pederson, and will serve as joint editors. WSSA welcomes them to the WSSA Council!
