Spotlight on the Annual Meeting Location: Quebec’s Distinctive Welfare State
By Axel van den Berg, Professor of Sociology, McGill University
Canada is routinely classified together with the United States as a “liberal” welfare state, according to Esping-Andersen’s famous three-regime scheme. Compared to the conservative-corporatist and the social-democratic regimes, the liberal regime is characterized by a relatively strong reliance on the market as the principal determinant of income and welfare. Welfare programs are typically residual in nature and relatively ungenerous, producing greater income inequality and higher poverty rates than in other regimes.
But classifying Canada in this way assumes that it is in effect a single, homogeneous welfare state. Given the extremely decentralized nature of the Canadian Confederation, this assumption is far from self-evident. In fact, the 1867 British North America Act (the BNA Act), Canada’s founding constitution, reserved the most important policy domains and powers of taxation for the federal government, relegating jurisdiction over policies that were at the time considered to be of lesser consequence, including those dealing with health and welfare, to the provinces.
This has not prevented the federal government from playing a major role in the creation of Canada’s principal welfare programs. By deftly using its powers of taxation and the much-contested “doctrine of the spending power,” the federal government managed to coax the often reluctant provinces into accepting three major national welfare programs: unemployment insurance (1940), the federal pensions system (1952, 1966), and universal public health care (1971). Its role in funding these programs has allowed the federal government to impose some degree of uniformity, notably in insisting on minimum standards and cross-provincial portability of the benefits, albeit often in the face of vocal resistance from the provinces, especially the province of Quebec.
Having reluctantly accepted these federal incursions into provincial areas of jurisdiction, the provinces have jealously guarded their control over most other aspects of social policy, particularly in the areas of social assistance, family support, and education. As a result, there remains considerable variation in the character and generosity of the provincial welfare regimes. In fact, the variation in provincial welfare expenditures within Canada is actually greater than it is among the 38 global member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), yielding a patchwork of different provincial approaches.
In recent years, the province of Quebec has particularly stood out for spending a much larger percentage of its GDP on a much wider and more generous array of social policies than any other province. So much so, in fact, that many observers claim Quebec has undertaken a virage sociodémocratique, a social democratic turn, and should be classified as a social democratic welfare state in its own right.
Catholic Roots to Secularization
Quebec’s purported virage sociodémocratique proper may be of relatively recent vintage, but its historical roots can be traced back well before the era of the modern welfare state. Unlike the other Canadian provinces which had followed the strictly “residualist” British Poor Law tradition, in Quebec the Catholic Church was the principal provider of charity, health care, and education, based on a solidaristic ideology of communal obligations to its most vulnerable members. The Church constituted a virtual state within a state, due to its almost complete control of all welfare-providing institutions in the province. Its prevailing doctrine was an extremely traditionalist ultramontane Catholicism, deeply rooted in rural Quebec and supported by the conservative francophone political elite. Rejecting both laissez-faire economics and Marxist class struggle, it was also strongly neocorporatist, relying on a whole tapestry of intermediate institutions—labour unions, employers’ associations, cooperatives, and farmers’, women’s, and youth movements—more or less under the Church’s control. This arrangement was strongly supported by the provincial government, particularly during the long reign (1944-1959) of the conservative-nationalist Union Nationale led by premier Maurice Duplessis.
But from the mid-1940s, a new, secular, and even anticlerical Québécois nationalism began to emerge in the universities, the unions, and many of the other civil society institutions and organizations that had been part of the Catholic “third sector.” After Duplessis’s death in 1959, the traditionalist Union Nationale was defeated by the modernizing Liberal Party led by Jean Lesage. The new government implemented a flurry of new policies and programs that came to be known collectively as the Quiet Revolution, a remarkable period of radical reform that succeeded in secularizing one of the most traditionalist Catholic societies in the world within the span of less than a generation.
In about 10 years, successive modernizing provincial governments effectively nationalized almost the entire education system and all health care and social services, implemented a new, relatively union-friendly Labour Code, and implemented a whole array of other social and economic reforms. During the ensuing two decades, both Liberal and Parti Québécois governments continued to implement major reforms in health care and social services, social assistance and support for low-income families, youth protection, public home care, and occupational health and safety, among others. The massive replacement of the Catholic Church by the provincial government dramatically reduced the Church’s role in Quebec public life and culture, producing what may well have been the most spectacular and rapid episode of societal secularization anywhere. As successive provincial governments continued to expand their role in the social policy domain, by the early 1980s Quebec had become a true outlier within the Canadian Confederation, spending a considerably larger proportion of its provincial GDP on a much greater and more generous array of social protection programs and policies than any other Canadian province.
Quebec’s modernizing nationalist elites categorically rejected the extreme Catholic social traditionalism of the old regime, but not its solidaristic commitment to the community’s responsibility to care for those in need. As a consequence, they—and particularly those leading the separatist Parti Québécois, which became the Liberal Party’s main rival from the early 1970s onward—were more drawn toward the social democratic than the religion-inspired familialism of the conservative-corporatist types of welfare regime.
Another important feature of the Catholic legacy survived as well: the neocorporatist reliance on and support for a host of advocacy groups in the social policy area, including Quebec’s powerful unions, women’s organizations, community groups representing the poor, organizations advocating housing support for low-income families, and so on. This became more apparent as the provincial governments sought closer partnerships with third-sector organizations and movements to help cope with the mounting fiscal crisis in the wake of the “stagflation” of the late 1970s and the major recessions of the early ’80s and ’90s.
Choosing a Different Path
By the early ’90s, in an atmosphere of growing alarm over the ballooning government deficits and public debt, both the federal and most provincial governments launched aggressive campaigns of cutbacks and retrenchments, particularly of social expenditures. At this time, Quebec had the largest provincial budget deficit in the country. But newly elected Parti Québécois premier Lucien Bouchard, eager to establish his government’s social democratic credentials and mindful of the storm of protest that his Liberal predecessor’s attempt at modest fiscal constraint had met, did not feel confident to slash public program budgets unilaterally. Instead, he called two socio-economic summits involving the employers’ organizations, the unions, and les associations de la société civile, or civil society organizations, to hammer out a “social pact.”
In marked contrast to the other provinces’ approach, the summits produced a unique “social contract” in which the government committed itself to simultaneously balancing the budget, creating employment, and combating poverty and inequality. This was the point at which Quebec’s path began to diverge most dramatically from the neoliberal trend of cutbacks and government retrenchment in the rest of the country.
A flurry of new policies, program reforms, and government commitments for the near future followed, including the now much-celebrated $5-a-day subsidized daycare system, a more generous parental leave program than that offered by the federal employment insurance program, automatic recovery of alimonies, a new family allowance program, a $334 million Fund to Combat Poverty through Reinsertion into Employment, and a series of additional reforms benefiting families with young children. Quebec also created a new agency, Emploi Québec, mandated to administer all training and labour market insertion programs in the province and supervised in consultation with provincial and regional representatives of business, labour, and educational institutions, and with input from local communities.
But perhaps the most dramatic instance of Quebec’s distinctive approach was the unanimous adoption by the National Assembly of Quebec in December 2002 of Bill 112 “An Act to Combat Poverty and Social Exclusion.” The act called for a national strategy that would, within 10 years, turn Quebec from a province with historically relatively high poverty rates to one rivalling countries with the lowest poverty rates in the industrialized world. The strategy consisted of a major overhaul, extension, and consolidation of Quebec’s antipoverty policies with a strong emphasis on employment as the preferred way to avoid poverty and on supporting families with children at risk of falling into poverty—both principles inspired by the social-democratic model.
In the years that followed, the National Assembly of Quebec passed a series of laws and adopted a number of programs introducing new “activation” measures to encourage and support labour force participation of persons at risk of poverty. These actions were coordinated by several multiyear, multibillion-dollar “Action Plans,” the fourth of which is expected to be announced in the spring of 2024. Significantly, subsequent Quebec provincial governments of a more conservative hue have continued to support and invest in the strategy ever since.
Distinct Outcomes
While Quebec already spent significantly more than the other major provinces on social policies before the 1996 virage, by 2010 it spent between four and six times as much as a percentage of its GDP on family support and activation programs than any of the others. The most ambitious aspirations of Bill 112 may not have been fully realized, but the impressive array of policies and programs based on it certainly seems to have produced some of the intended outcomes. The labour force-participation rate of women, particularly women with young children, shot up from one of the lowest of Canada’s major provinces in 1996 to the highest by far in 2012.
Partly as a result, for two-parent families with children, Quebec’s poverty rates have indeed dropped to levels otherwise only seen in Northern Europe. Single parent family poverty rates are considerably lower than in the other major provinces and much lower than in the United States, but they do not quite measure up to those of the social democratic welfare state regimes. Similarly, equivalized household disposable income inequality in Quebec is now considerably lower than in the other major provinces and, again, much lower than in the United States Emploi-Québec’s architecture, notably copied from Scandinavian agencies, has been spectacularly successful in helping clients find gainful employment.
These are fairly impressive achievements by any standard, and there is no question that they were at least in part inspired by a widespread admiration for the Nordic welfare state model among Quebec’s policy-making elites. But is Quebec’s welfare state sufficiently distinct from the rest of Canada and the United States to earn the title of social democratic welfare state? In the case of Quebec, this is not merely a matter of arbitrary semantics. Since the Quiet Revolution, the province has repeatedly demanded that it be recognized formally by the rest of Canada as a distinct society.
Recall that not even the most conservative provincial governments have dared to significantly turn the clock back (much) when it comes to Quebec’s distinctive approach to social policy. In the province of Quebec, social policy is not primarily a matter of left versus right. It is a matter of nationalist pride. And all provincial governments, whatever their political stripe, have been, at least since the Quiet Revolution, Québécois nationalists to some degree.
Some have observed the growing divergence between Quebec and the rest of Canada with alarm, fearing a balkanization that will ultimately undermine the entire Canadian Confederation. Yet to others, this is precisely the point: Quebec’s purported social democratic virage is seen as both the expression and a further elaboration of the values that make it a distinct society. It is, some would argue, intimately connected to the province’s long-term nation-building aspirations. The ‘Quebec model’ of social policymaking is not so much either social democratic or liberal as it is part and parcel of its national solidarity narrative.
Kelsy Burke Appointed Next Editor of Contemporary Sociology
It is my great honor to introduce Kelsy Burke as the next editor of Contemporary Sociology. A scholar whose reach extends from gender, sexuality, race, and religion to science, law, democratic rights, narratives, and discourse, Burke is well poised to lead Contemporary Sociology (CS) in its intellectually broad mission. She has made extensive research contributions in core areas of sociology, collaborates with scholars in other fields to advance interdisciplinary knowledge, and has a deep commitment to fostering an inclusive and diverse intellectual environment. Booklovers also will appreciate that Burke’s passion for the bound (and digital) volume extends beyond reading and writing to the art of book reviews. As she puts it, “It’s hard for me to overstate my love of a well-crafted one.”
Publications and Achievements
Burke brings considerable experience to CS, including a three-year term as the book review editor for Gender & Society. She has familiarity both with books for scholarly audiences and with those written to engage nonacademic audiences in sociological research and theory. Her first book was the award-winning Christians under Covers: Evangelicals and Sexual Pleasure on the Internet (University of California Press 2016) and her second, published in 2023 by top trade press Bloomsbury, was The Pornography Wars: The Past, Present, and Future of America’s Obscene Obsession. Burke also has considerable experience in writing for media outlets, with pieces published in the Washington Post, Slate Magazine, and the Conversation. Reporting on her research has appeared in the New York Times, Vox, and the Los Angeles Times, as well as on PBS.
Burke is professor of sociology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She received her PhD from the University of Pittsburgh in 2013, where I had the pleasure of chairing her dissertation committee. She has made significant contributions to understanding the entanglement of religion and sexuality, both in individual practice and in the political arena. She challenges traditional notions of oppositional dichotomies, such as sex-positive versus evangelical and supporter versus adversary of rights for sexual minorities. Burke’s scholarly stature has been recognized with the 2017 Distinguished Book Award for Christians Under Cover from the American Sociological Association’s Sociology of Religion Section, with an invitation to deliver the annual Paul Hanly Furfey Lecture to the Association for the Sociology of Religion (subsequently published as “The False Dichotomy of Sex and Religion in America” in Sociology of Religion, Winter 2022), and by being named a Public Fellow by the Public Religion Research Institute.
Revelatory Research Focus
To understand the world of prosex conservative evangelical Christians, the subject of her groundbreaking book, Christians under Covers, Burke employed ethnographic observation, surveys, interviews, and analysis of online posts. To give a taste of her compelling presentation style, consider Burke’s argument that Christian sexuality website users “portray their marital beds as crowded. Their choices appear to be (or at least attempt to be) influenced by God, who celebrates sexual pleasure for married Christians; Satan, who thwarts sexual pleasure for married Christians; and the websites themselves, which act as what sociologist Erving Goffman calls ‘reference groups’ that monitor these desires and behaviors through feedback, providing credibility for some sex acts while condemning others.”
In articles published in Social Forces, Law & Social Inquiry, Sociology of Race and Ethnicity, Gender & Society, Journal of Homosexuality, Sociology of Religion, Socius, and other journals, Burke examines the construction of pornography in scientific, media, and political discourses; religious-based legal claims about LGBTQ+ rights; whiteness as a leadership credential in women-led evangelical organizations; narratives of addiction and recovery from addiction to pornography among religious men; and public opinion on transgender rights. She upends conventional ideas of religion (especially U.S. evangelical Protestantism) as motivating (or serving as a cudgel against) nonmainstream sexual expression and rights. Rather, she postulates that religion may itself be constructed in relation to beliefs and practices of sexuality.
Her new book, The Pornography Wars, continues Burke’s quest to identify “how sex matters in American politics and culture.” At the time of this writing, the U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether the 1873 Congressional Act of the Suppression of Trade in, and Circulation of, Obscene Literature and Articles of Immoral Use, commonly termed the Comstock Act, can be used to prohibit mailing medicine or other materials used to induce or perform abortions. Anthony Comstock, Burke reminds us in her book, was an antiobscenity activist who lobbied for the passage of the act and who was subsequently named special agent in the U.S. Postal Service.
Throughout Pornography Wars, we find the hallmarks of all of Burke’s research—well-crafted methodology and careful explication of meanings that extend beyond traditional categories. She interviews activists in the antiporn movement—feminists, “secular Millennials,” and religious conservatives—who share a concern that pornography is harming society, often describing it as addictive and a national crisis. And she interviews activists in what she terms the “porn-positive” movement—sex workers and those pursuing feminist and queer agendas—who are fueling the rise of “feminist porn” and “ethical porn” that attend to labor rights and ethical standards in the production of pornography. Despite their evident differences, both groups fundamentally operate in a self-improvement framework that distinguishes what they consider authentic sex from sex that is curated and fake. This is very fine scholarship, with profound implications for a society that can seem irreparably fractured.
We are fortunate indeed to have Kelsy Burke as the next editor of Contemporary Sociology.

Lisa Slattery Walker and Joseph Dippong Appointed Next Coeditors of Social Psychology Quarterly
It is a great honor to introduce Lisa Slattery Walker and Joseph Dippong as the next co-editors of Social Psychology Quarterly (SPQ). Walker and Dippong inherit SPQ from the capable hands of Jody Clay-Warner and Justine E. Tinkler. Through hard work and dedicated service, Clay-Warner and Tinkler increased the journal’s impact, maintained its respected commitments to efficiency and quality, and carried forward SPQ’s stellar reputation for publishing groundbreaking scholarship.
As the incoming coeditors, Walker and Dippong bring with them outstanding research and publication histories, as well as extensive and varied records of service to the discipline. Without question, they are well-poised to maintain and strengthen SPQ’s excellent reputation with a clear and expansive vision.
Specifically, Walker and Dippong’s vision for SPQ centers around three essential themes. First, to promote a more comprehensive understanding of human social behavior, the new editors bring to the table a strong commitment to diversity, in terms of both contributor profiles and article content (e.g., theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches, and cultural contexts). Second, Walker and Dippong aim to advance the journal by increasing SPQ’s adherence to evolving standards of scientific publishing, including by creating a searchable database of links to publicly available datasets and making the publication of well-designed replication studies a more explicit part of SPQ’s mission. Third, the incoming editors are keenly aware of the increasingly important role of social media as a tool for promoting articles and engaging wider audiences. Walker and Dippong have pledged to expand SPQ’s commitment to public social psychology by targeting new platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, Instagram) and enhancing social media posts with “lay summaries.” In addition, the incoming editors plan to encourage authors to record short video abstracts that will be hosted on a new YouTube channel for the journal. Besides making SPQ content much more accessible to other scientists and the public alike, the video abstracts will help teachers at all levels incorporate new social psychology research into the classroom.
On a personal note, I have known Walker for my entire career, and I have known Dippong for well over half of it. Never have I felt more inspired, creative, or invigorated as a social psychologist than I have in my collaborative ventures with them. I can testify firsthand to the fact that both Walker and Dippong possess the knowledge, experience, diligence, organizational capabilities, and ethics needed to grow SPQ’s already strong reputation for quality, efficiency, and fair review. In my opinion, either one of them alone could be wholly entrusted with the responsibility of editing SPQ. As a team, they are incomparably qualified. Indeed, their records speak for themselves.
More about Lisa Slattery Walker
Walker is a professor of sociology and organizational science at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte (UNC Charlotte). She received her PhD in sociology from the University of Arizona in 1998, where she studied under former SPQ coeditor Lynn Smith-Lovin. While at UNC Charlotte, Walker served as chair of the Sociology Department (2008-2014), president of the faculty (2016-17), associate dean for advising and graduation in the Office of Undergraduate Education (2017-22), and interim associate provost for undergraduate education and dean of University College (2022-24). Walker’s extensive editorial experience includes two terms on the editorial board of SPQ (2010-12 and 2022-24) and additional service on the editorial boards of the American Sociological Review, Social Science Research, and Emotions and Society. In addition, she has served on numerous National Science Foundation advisory panels and coedited the social psychology and family section of Sociology Compass from 2014 to 2016.
Walker’s research spans several areas in social psychology, including small-group interaction, nonverbal behavior, identity, emotions, gender, and expectations. Her work has been generously funded by the National Science Foundation and appears in a variety of leading journals, including Group Processes & Intergroup Relations, the Journal of Applied Psychology, the Journal of Organizational Behavior, the International Journal of Human Resource Management, Social Forces, Social Psychology Quarterly, Social Science Research, and Sociological Methodology. Walker has also been active in public discussions related to her areas of interest, especially gender and human rights. Most recently, Walker was interviewed by BBC Global News about the gendered nature of beauty-based inequality in groups for a series featured on BBC Reel, World TV, and BBC’s YouTube Channel.
More about Joseph Dippong
Dippong is an associate professor at UNC Charlotte, with appointments in sociology and public policy. He is currently director of graduate studies in the Sociology Department. Dippong earned his PhD in sociology from Kent State University in 2013, where he studied under former SPQ Deputy Editor Will Kalkhoff and former SPQ Editor Richard T. Serpe. Dippong’s relevant professional experience includes service on the editorial boards of Advances in Group Processes and Social Science Research. He has also served as a member of the Sociology Advisory Panel of the National Science Foundation and is currently coediting the Handbook of Neurosociology with Will Kalkhoff and Rengin Firat.
Dippong’s research focuses on the fundamental bases of social inequality in small groups. In some of his current projects, he explores the development of unobtrusive measures of status and power and examines how emotional processes arise from and support these organizing structures. Dippong’s work has been funded by the National Science Foundation and the Army Research Office and appears in numerous peer-reviewed outlets, including Advances in Group Processes, Social Psychology Quarterly, Social Science Research, Social Currents, and Sociological Science.

Weihua An Appointed Next Editor of Sociological Methodology
Weihua An is the incoming editor of Sociological Methodology (SM), and his expertise will greatly benefit the journal and the discipline. I say this because An is an exceptional methodologist, as would be expected of an SM editor, and because he is an enthusiastic supporter of the scholarly community who joyfully explains methodological complexities in a way that makes them clear to experts and novices alike.
I like to describe An’s scholarship by using a famous aphorism: “Give me a lever and a place to stand, and I will move the earth.” The social science enterprise is one that moves the earth, so to speak, by way of describing and explaining. The various theories that social scientists employ provide the places to stand. Both the enterprise and its theories are important, but both require the lever to complete the task. That lever is methodology—the means of gathering and analyzing data, the evidence upon which our enterprise relies.
Training and Innovation
An is by training and by practice a methodologist. Much of his research involves devising, honing, and perfecting the very levers upon which social scientists rely. That said, An is far from being only a methodologist. Indeed, his substantive breadth and expertise allow him to convey in intuitive fashion which levers scholars should employ when describing and explaining the social world. He truly is a methodologist in the best and most holistic sense of the term.
One of the ways in which An has made his mark is by way of the causal analysis of network effects, thereby moving network analysis from the realm of description to that of explanation. An has developed a number of methodological techniques for estimating causal peer effects in social networks—doing so for observational data analysis and for experimental design. He has also developed techniques by which to disentangle and evaluate the effects of neighborhoods and the effects of networks as they play out in tandem in real-world settings.
Another way in which An has made his mark is by delving into the actual formation of social networks. Beyond offering insightful theoretical contributions, An has also helped address pressing issues of measurement error related to social networks, as well as how to apply explanatory models to excessively big networks.
What is especially notable, however, is the manner in which An has innovated as a methodologist. A perusal of his scholarship reveals the following pattern. He first grounds methodological puzzles in the context of substantive inquiry (thereby connecting the methodological to the theoretical and empirical). He then unpacks the methodological puzzle, elucidating what is known and commonplace in terms of methodological approaches, while also showing why what may be deemed “known and commonplace” can actually be problematic. Thankfully, he intuitively links the “known” with its problems to a new way of analysis with its solutions, thereby bringing along scholars to innovations in helpful fashion. Not content to stop there, An also provides scholars with the tools (via some of his software packages and code) to adopt his methodological innovations.
Sharing his packages and code is but one of the ways that An supports the scholarly community. For example, he has served on five prestigious editorial boards, which means that An has provided valuable feedback on many journal submissions. He has also provided publication outlets for the community of scholars—editing and coediting six special issues since 2020. He has served on key committees and in elected positions for the American Sociological Association (ASA), including service on committees that select outstanding papers and lifetime achievement awards. For example, An has served on the council of the ASA Mathematical Sociological Section. He currently serves on the board of the International Chinese Sociological Association. He manages such service to the discipline while also splitting his time among three academic units at Emory—the Department of Sociology, the Department of Quantitative Theory and Methods, and the Rollins School of Public Health—as well as serving on a variety of departmental and college committees.
Leading with Joy
Describing these efforts as “service” does not capture the enthusiasm that An brings to his efforts. He truly is inspired by the advancement of knowledge—be it in the methodological, empirical, and/or theoretical realm—and he strives to add his own contributions to that advancement while also helping others add their respective contributions. This enthusiasm, in turn, is matched by the joy he shows in sharing such advances. To be honest, joyfulness is not a trait I previously associated with methodologists—but there is no other way to describe An.
An’s joyfulness was obvious when a high school team he helps coach won first place in a national data challenge sponsored by the American Statistical Association. An demonstrates this joy through teaching and mentoring numerous undergraduate and graduate students. And this joy is certainly evident in the talks that he gives. Even when dealing with intricate complexities of various methodological concerns, An leads his audience through the material in an impressively instructive fashion, while also creating a space in which jokes are flying and laughter is common. Finally, An’s joyfulness is captured by the color of his office, which is the brightest and most electric shade of green that I have ever seen. An chose that color because of his love of basketball (which he plays regularly), and of the Boston Celtics, in particular.
An will bring considerable expertise and skills to the editorship of Sociological Methodology. He will oversee a publication venue in which the latest advances will be offered, and he will show contributors how to make those advances of interest to those beyond the typical readership of the journal. That he will write many of his decision letters in a bright green office makes me smile.

William Carbonaro and Anna R. Haskins Appointed Next Editors of Sociology of Education
By some lights, the sociology of education is at a crossroads. Inequality, continually the central challenge of education, was greatly exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Technological advances are introducing new complexities and uncertainties to processes of teaching and learning. In the United States, education is a battleground for culture wars. What has the sociology of education to offer in the face of these challenges?
Vision for the Future
According to the next editors of Sociology of Education, University of Notre Dame’s William “Bill” Carbonaro and Anna R. Haskins, the journal is poised to respond. Their vision is of a publication that continues “the long tradition of vibrant theorizing and rigorous research to bring attention to and find ways to address the many pressing social issues that intersect with education.” In this way, the journal can advance both theory and evidence that meets the moment. “More than ever,” the new editors assert, “a sociological perspective on education is needed.”
As much as the needs are pressing, the new editors maintain, the opportunity to respond will arise from the strong foundation of success built by previous editors. The journal publishes articles on a wide range of topics within the subdiscipline, featuring diverse questions and data sources, including original, secondary, and administrative data. Articles in the journal also display methodological diversity and a healthy balance in their focus across K-8, secondary, and postsecondary education. In taking the helm of the journal, Carbonaro and Haskins intend to continue the publication’s record of addressing important questions, grounded in sociological perspectives using rigorous methods, and with substantively meaningful implications. They envision a constructive review process that helps improve authors’ work, and they plan to help authors gain opportunities for public engagement with their findings.
The new editors bring scholarly distinction and a valuable diversity of interests and experiences to their roles. Both received their PhD degrees in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Carbonaro in 2000 and Haskins in 2013.
More about Bill Carbonaro
Bill Carbonaro is professor and chair of the Department of Sociology at the University of Notre Dame. He is well-known for his research on educational inequality, including his 2023 article in Sociology of Education (with Douglas Lauen and Brian Levy) demonstrating the negative consequences of long-term exposure to high-poverty schools for student test scores. This paper is one of six he has published in the journal he will now lead. Carbonaro has also studied the inequality implications of peer and family social networks, dating back to his earliest article (1998) in Sociology of Education and including his more recent article (2016) in Social Science Research (with Joseph Workman). Carbonaro’s research exhibits great range across the elementary, middle, and high school years and into postsecondary education, and he has used both survey and administrative data at the national, state, and local levels. Rich theorizing and cogent hypothesis testing are hallmarks of his scholarship.
A five-time honoree as an outstanding reviewer (an excellent quality for an incoming coeditor), Carbonaro has served on the editorial boards of the American Sociological Review, Social Forces, and the American Educational Research Journal, as well as that of Sociology of Education. As an early career scholar, he received a National Academy of Education/Spencer Postdoctoral Fellowship. His extensive leadership in the field of sociology of education is reflected in service as chair of the American Sociological Association’s Section on Sociology of Education, program chair for the Sociology of Education Association, and secretary-treasurer of the Sociology of Education special interest group (SIG) of the American Educational Research Association. He is further known as a diligent and compassionate mentor for graduate students and early career scholars.
More about Anna R. Haskins
Anna R. Haskins is the Andrew V. Tackes Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Notre Dame. She is also the associate director of the Notre Dame Initiative on Race and Resilience, and a William T. Grant Scholar. She is an expert on the intersections of race, education, and the criminal justice system. More than once, her articles have been identified among the most widely cited in a journal’s body of publications; such was the case for her 2016 article in Social Forces on paternal incarceration and children’s cognitive development, which implicated mass incarceration in the intergenerational transmission of inequality. Indeed, a subsequent paper, published in Sociology Compass (2018) and coauthored with Mariana Amorim and Meaghan Mingo, placed this work in a broader literature and was one of that journal’s most prominent papers. This paper was cited in Reducing Intergenerational Poverty, a 2023 report of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Similar to Carbonaro, she has had multiple articles published in Sociology of Education, the most recent of which (a 2023 article with Wade Jacobson and Joel Mittleman) was a paper that examined racialized constraints on college attitudes and expectations among youth in the era of mass incarceration.
Methodologically, Haskins’s work is wide ranging. Her current research includes a qualitative study of parental involvement in schools, interrogating the nexus of education, criminal justice, immigration enforcement, and child welfare systems. She has also employed administrative, survey, and experimental data in hypothesis-testing work. Her experience with a variety of methods and data sources will be valuable in leading a journal that publishes studies that address varied research questions using all sorts of research designs.
Haskins has been recognized with multiple honors. One of her first publications, a landmark paper on the effects of paternal incarceration on school readiness and special education placement (Sociological Science 2014) received five awards from professional societies. In 2012, she received the American Sociological Association (ASA) Section on Inequality, Poverty and Mobility’s William Julius Wilson Early Career Award. Additionally, she, like Carbonaro, received a National Academy of Education/Spencer Postdoctoral Fellowship (which she ultimately declined) and is also an active mentor for graduate students and early career scholars. She has engaged in substantial ASA service, specifically to its Section on Sociology of Education and Section on Inequality, Poverty, and Mobility, and is a member of the editorial boards for the American Sociological Review and the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
Finally, both Haskins and Carbonaro participate actively in Notre Dame’s Center for Research on Educational Opportunity, which conducts basic and applied research on schools and the learning process, and Notre Dame’s Program for Interdisciplinary Educational Research, which prepares doctoral students in research design, implementation, analysis, and inference for studies of education.
The field of sociology of education is fortunate to have such experienced, dedicated, and knowledgeable leaders as Bill Carbonaro and Anna Haskins as the next editors of Sociology of Education.

Tim Liao Appointed Next Editor of Socius
Tim Liao, the newly appointed editor of Socius, comes to the role with extensive experience as a former editor of sociological journals. Liao, professor and chair of sociology at Stony Brook University, is a publicly engaged scholar and a servant-leader to the discipline.
Liao’s research has spanned many areas including inequality, life course, methodology, social demography, social photography, and collective memory. He is highly regarded for his work in quantitative methodologies and was the recipient of the American Sociological Association (ASA) Section on Methodology’s 2021 Paul F. Lazarsfeld Award. In addition to his accomplishments within quantitative sociology, Liao has diverse experiences as a methodologist, including experience in the use of ethnographic methods and photography. What I believe scholars will most appreciate about Liao as the new Socius editor is that he is widely read and appreciates and values a wide array of empirical studies and methodological approaches. These sensibilities should serve him well in his efforts to manage and edit the American Sociological Association’s general open-access journal.
Editorial Experience
Liao brings extensive experience to the role. While still an assistant professor, Liao had an early start in the editorial realm, serving as a deputy editor for the Sociological Quarterly, and he has served on seven editorial boards, including for the American Sociological Review. In addition to this experience, Liao has been a deputy or associate editor for Demography and Advances in Life Course Research. Finally, Liao has spent two terms as editor of Sociological Methodology. Both the diversity of his editorial experiences and the number of years of his editorial service suggest that Liao is well equipped to expand the journal’s reach, while maintaining the high quality of scholarship published by the journal.
Public Engagement and Service to the Discipline
The expansion of the internet has brought with it the opportunity to share scholarship in a more timely manner across vast times and spaces. Liao believes in the profound impact that research can have on our society and works to be active in public engagement. Whenever called upon by local news media or by online national news outlets, Liao has provided clear and concise sociological explanations that are accessible to lay audiences. For example, Liao’s analysis of the economic recovery and COVID pandemic were picked up by VOX, and his research has often been disseminated widely through the Illinois News Bureau. Liao has published scholarship in open-access, peer-reviewed journals and recognizes the importance of making our scholarship available to increasingly wider audiences.
Beyond Liao’s prolific scholarship, extensive editorial experience, and active engagement in public sociology, he has provided significant service to the discipline, serving as chair of ASA Section on Methodology; chair of the ASA Section on Mathematical Sociology’s Award for Progress in Mathematical Sociology Committee; chair of the ASA Section on Methodology’s Outstanding Publication Award Committee; and cochair of the Society for Longitudinal and Life Course Studies Harvey Goldstein Memorial Award Committee. Perhaps the best measure of Liao’s experience as a servant-leader is the supportive and effective mentorship that he has provided to his students, including publishing peer-reviewed papers with his undergraduate students. In his role as editor, Liao will have the opportunity to support the work of the next generation of sociologists.
Vision for the Journal
Building on the success of current Socius editors Ryan Light, Aaron Gullickson, and C.J. Pascoe, Liao plans to further develop the journal’s distinctive model of rapid publication, clear editorial decisions, encouraging digital public forms, and emphasizing growth and breadth of submissions and publications. This includes a commitment to improving the journal’s global reach and encouraging diverse voices and perspectives in the journal as well as on the editorial board. Recognizing that journalists turn to social media for information on new scholarship, Liao plans to enhance the visibility of Socius articles through increased social media outreach and presence, and by encouraging authors with accepted papers to develop press releases about their work whenever possible. These activities should create avenues of exposure for the dynamic research being published in the journal.
In addition to taking important steps to improve the dissemination of research published in Socius, Liao plans to further increase diversity within the editorial board and the reviewer pool by seeking individuals from a variety of backgrounds, regions, and identities who can bring diverse perspectives to the review process. He will also encourage reviewers to recognize and avoid biases in evaluating submissions to help ensure fair assessments. Liao aims to further promote content diversity by encouraging and publishing research that explores diverse perspectives, experiences, and voices within sociology, as well as ensuring that a variety of topics and methodologies are represented in the journal. Liao’s beliefs in implementing and upholding inclusive policies regarding authorship, citation practices, and conflicts of interest to ensure fairness and equity bode well for the continued expansion and success of the journal.

Melinda Messineo Appointed Next Editor of Teaching Sociology
I am pleased to introduce Melinda Messineo, professor of sociology at Ball State University, as the next editor of Teaching Sociology. Messineo received her PhD in sociology in 2000 from the University of California, Riverside and has more than 25 years of higher education classroom experience, with a particular focus on community engagement. She has served three terms on the Teaching Sociology Editorial Board. She brings to the role an impressive record of outstanding contributions to teaching, has leadership experience in numerous professional organizations that emphasize teaching and learning, and has made many research contributions to the scholarship of teaching and learning in sociology.
Accolades and Leadership Experience
Messineo is the recipient of multiple prestigious teaching awards including the American Sociological Association’s (ASA) Distinguished Contributions to Teaching Award (2022), the ASA Section on Teaching and Learning in Sociology’s Hans O. Mauksch Award for Distinguished Contributions to Undergraduate Sociology (2016), and the North Central Sociological Association’s John F. Schnabel Distinguished Contributions to Teaching Award (2009).
Messineo brings a wealth of leadership experience to Teaching Sociology. She has served in a wide variety of professional leadership roles, including as chair of the ASA Section on Teaching and Learning in Sociology, president of the North Central Sociological Association, vice president and incoming president of Alpha Kappa Delta (the International Sociological Honor Society), and chair of the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning’s Sociology Special Interest Group. She is passionate about social justice and works to empower learners so communities can thrive. A champion of immersive learning on her campus, Messineo has guided interdisciplinary student teams to create unique high-impact learning experiences in partnership with community organizations. This commitment is further evidenced by the roles in which she has served on the Ball State campus, including as associate vice president for inclusive excellence and as distinguished faculty fellow in the Office for Inclusive Excellence.
Messineo has been an active researcher in the scholarship of teaching and learning for more than 25 years, with articles published in Teaching Sociology, College Teaching, Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, and Sociological Focus, among many other publications. She was also a member of the ASA Task Force on Liberal Learning and the Sociology Major, which authored the report The Sociology Major in the Changing Landscape of Higher Education: Curriculum, Careers, and Online Learning (2017).
An Energizing Force
Messineo is an optimist at heart and believes that through our work as teachers, we can bring the wisdom and insights of the discipline to the world. While she loves working with sociology majors, she delights in knowing that every contact that sociology faculty members make with students has the potential to improve the lives of many. When it comes to teaching and learning, colleagues have called her a “beam of energy.”
Diane Pike, former chair of the ASA Section on Teaching and Learning in Sociology, created a motto for the section: “If you teach, you belong.” This motto holds true for all readers of Teaching Sociology, and Messineo recognizes that the journal is a critical resource for the entire discipline and is a national leader in the promotion of the scholarship of teaching and learning. All scholars have a use for Teaching Sociology, a place in Teaching Sociology, and something they can learn from Teaching Sociology. One of Messineo’s hopes is to continue the outstanding work of previous editors to bring relevant and timely work on the sociology of teaching and learning to the field. She hopes to amplify and celebrate the work of sociologists from all institutional types, and I’m certain she will harness that “beam of energy” to further the success of Teaching Sociology.
