In June of 2014, the editorial office of Social Problems moved to the University of Illinois-Chicago. As co-editors we are excited about the opportunity to contribute to the tradition of excellence of Social Problems . Our new editorial team includes associate editors Hector Carillo (Northwestern University), Sharon Collins (University of Illinois-Chicago), Heather Dalmage (Roosevelt University), David Embrick (Loyola University-Chicago), Roberto Gonzalez (Harvard University), Cedric Herring (University of Maryland), Moon-Kie Jung (University of Massachusetts-Amherst), Maria Krysan (University of Illinois-Chicago), Barbara Risman (University of Illinois-Chicago), and Rogelio Saenz (University of Texas-San Antonio). Our team also includes our managing editor, Deana Lewis, assistant editor, Lydia Hou, production editor, Amy Jo Woodruff, 66 advisory editors from the United States and nine other countries, and 21 student editors from the University of Illinois-Chicago, Harvard University, Northwestern University, Loyola University-Chicago, Duke University, and University of Texas-San Antonio. We would like to thank the outgoing editor Becky Pettit, and her editorial staff, for their assistance in helping us to transition the journal to UIC. We also want to acknowledge the assistance of Brandi Vigil. We want to thank the administrative team at the Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP), the Board of Directors of the SSSP, the Editorial and Publications Committee of the SSSP, and the staff at both the University of California Press and Oxford University Press for their support throughout this process of transition.
