Editorial Board
The Board may consist of a Managing Editor, Executive Editor, Committing Sociology Editor, Associate Editors, and Student Advisory Board. Members are appointed by the CSA Executive Committee in consultation with incumbent editors and recommendations from Editorial Board and Association members.
The Association should endeavour to balance Editorial Board membership in terms of gender, language, region, discipline, and types of employing institutions. The rotation of Editors and Associate Editors helps ensure representation across the full range of research interests and theoretical perspectives in the discipline.
The mandate of Editorial Board is to provide a forum for the publication of a high quality academic and policy relevant research that reflects the full range of substantive issues, theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches characteristic of Canadian sociology, and to ensure that the journal’s operating procedures are consistent with the highest academic and ethical standards of scholarly objectivity and excellence.
