Announcing the Next Editors for Social Problems

The SSSP Board of Directors is pleased to announce that they have approved Drs. David L. Brunsma and David G. Embrick to serve as the next editors of Social Problems. Beginning on June 1, 2027, the editorial office of Social Problems will move to Virginia Tech and the University of Connecticut. At that time, all new and revised submissions will be the responsibility of the new editorial team. Submissions will continue to route through ScholarOne Manuscripts. 

Please join us in welcoming the new editorial team and in thanking Drs. Andrew Fullerton, Michael Long, Rachel Schmitz, and Kelley Sittner for their strong leadership and dedication as outgoing editors of Social Problems.
