Welcome to Sociology News<\/em>!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Along with the usual assortment of articles, the fall 2023 newsletter includes links to the first events in the Department of Sociology\u2019s 100-year celebration, a retrospective by Don Dillman as he prepares to retire, and recognition of many publications and achievements by our community of scholars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are also thrilled to introduce two new faculty members and the newest cohort of graduate students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would also like to introduce our new graduate student co-editor for Sociology News<\/em>: Shekinah Hoffman (pronounced shu-con-uh). She is a PhD candidate with research interests in gender, labor market inequality, workplace discrimination and work\/organizations, with a focus on casino gaming and hospitality industries. Shekinah brings a wealth of experience with her bachelor\u2019s in communications and marketing from Colorado State University and nearly a decade working in the nonprofit sector before joining the graduate program in sociology at WSU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our previous graduate student co-editor, Sadie Ridgeway, graduated in May! She completed her dissertation on weight stigma and well-being in youth, under the direction of Professor Monica Kirkpatrick Johnson. Congratulations, Dr. Ridgeway! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadie started her tenure as the graduate student co-editor under less-than-ideal circumstances in the fall 2020 when the University moved to remote instruction due to the pandemic. With no on-campus events or department activities, it was a challenge to generate interesting content for a newsletter. These were difficult times that were surrounded in uncertainty.  Additionally, I was still learning the ropes as a relatively new newsletter editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, Sadie provided unwavering assistance and support and offered many great ideas for content. I will greatly miss Sadie\u2019s contributions, but am thrilled she has moved on to an outstanding academic position as a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Goucher University in Baltimore, MD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wish Sadie the best of luck. I look forward to interviewing her as an \u201caccomplished alum\u201d in the future. We are grateful for her assistance and service to the department!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for your continued support of and connection with the Department of Sociology at WSU. We hope you enjoy the newsletter and wish you a very happy holiday season and a great new year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
