A new issue of the journal Studies of Transition States and Societies is published
The summer began with the issue of the journal Studies of Transition States and Societies being published. See the new issue here!
The year 2024 has been an intense one at STSS. The most important and shocking news is the passing away of our co-editor in chief, Professor Ellu Saar, in the beginning of June. Prof Saar was elected as editor-in-chief of the sociological section of STSS in 2012 and guided a number of authors to publish with us, importantly stirring sociological debates in Estonia and beyond. The year also saw a changing of the guards with regard to book review editors. After almost 3 years of support and help, our current editors Dr Phill Wilcox and Dr Leila Chamankhah have decided to focus on other projects and have helped the transition with two new editors that have been selected: Dr Enkhchimeg Enkhmandakh, PhD from Kyoto University, and Dr Joel Outtes, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. This year we also moved from two to only one issue per year, which is why the current issue is longer than usual, featuring five papers and four book reviews.
