From the Chair Steven
S. Smith Dear Section Colleagues, The partnership of the
Legislative Studies Section and Legislative
Studies Quarterly (LSQ) has
proven to be a great success. After an
initial dip, Section membership is now at the level it was before Section
dues were increased to accommodate a subscription to LSQ. We owe the success of
the partnership to the vision and planning of previous Section leaders Diana
Evans and Francis Lee and the LSQ
editorial team, Jerry Loewenberg and Mickie Wiegand.
Section members now enjoy a very modest subscription rate for one of
the discipline’s top journals. As I approach the end of my
term as Section chair, I would like to thank Our field is thriving. We continue to produce theory and methods
that are borrowed widely in the discipline and across the social
sciences. Our scholars are
disproportionately represented among the leading lights in the
discipline. We continue to define and
push the theoretical and methodological frontiers of the discipline. Much of this success is due to the deep
dedication to the advancement of social science, the spirit of collaboration,
and the extraordinary generosity in sharing ideas, data, and advice that
characterizes the scholars in our Section. I look forward to seeing you
at the annual LSS business meeting in Best wishes, Steve |
