The Ukraine War
The Ukraine War shocked the world when there was a sliver of hope that the Covid Pandemic will eventually be unfatal in 2022. We can only imagine the human misery by reading staggering numbers of destruction in human life, dislocation, and loss of property. We can only hope the war ends and negation of peace begins as soon as possible. And I hope I did not misunderstand Tolstoy’s message on war that war is immoral.

Social Problems Special Issue – Call for Papers: The Racism of Omission
Social Problems invites submissions for a special issue aimed at inverting the logic of studying racism as solely an intentional (or explicit) act of exclusion and instead examining racism as an act of omission or choosing not to act or acting in a racially habituated fashion without thought or explicit intent.
The deadline for submitting papers is May 20, 2022. Please submit papers through the online submission portal and choose “Racism of Omission” at “step 6” of the submission process. Click here for more information.
