SSSA PRESIDENT’S WELCOME Dear SSSA Colleagues: I am delighted to welcome you to the 90th annual meeting of the Southwestern Social Science Association. We are doing something different this year by meeting in Houston. How is this a different? While the association was founded in Texas in 1919, and has disproportionately a Texas membership, we have been moving steadily outward. Not only is this the first time since 1996 that we have met in Houston, but it is our only meeting in the Lone Star state in at least a seven year span. Our other meeting cities in that span are Albuquerque, Las Vegas (twice), Denver, New Orleans, and San Diego. The theme for this year’s meeting is “E Pluribus Unum: Integrating our Scholarship.” Even in an explicitly multi-disciplinary association such as ours, there is a tendency to wall ourselves off from our sibling disciplines on the basis of methods or theoretical issues or simply our subject matter. There is far too little cooperation and collaboration, and the effect is to limit our understanding of the wide social world. This is a well-known issue, one that to some extent is unavoidable. It has often been discussed, and it bears repetition. We will address it in the plenary speech Thursday afternoon. Our keynote speaker, Randolph Roth of The Ohio State University, will address some possibilities for scholarly integration, focusing on the lively topic of violence. Randy is an historian who integrates historical and statistical methods in the study of historical variations in different types of violence—mainly murder. He is equally adept at working in dusty archives and at employing demographic estimation techniques. He works with historians, sociologists, political scientists, public health experts, and legal scholars. He is co-director of the on-line, Historical Violence Database at the Criminal Justice Research Center at Ohio State (http://cjrc.osu.edu/researchprojects/hvd/). The database is a collaborative research project on the history of violent crime, violent death, and collective violence – which should give you some idea of the breadth of Randy’s interests. Please reserve time in your schedule for the plenary session. I can promise the most multi-disciplinary atmosphere you will have experienced in a good long time.

Following the plenary address will be the President’s Reception. This will also be a bit different from most such receptions, in that it will honor Bob and Nita Lineberry, outgoing editor and managing editor of Social Science Quarterly. The two have ably led SSQ for 16 years and were instrumental in negotiating our contract with Blackwell Publishers (now Wiley-Blackwell), increasing its output from four to five issues per year, bringing the journal to wider national and international audiences, and increasing the journal’s presence in the social science community. Please come to the President’s Reception Thursday evening, to join us in honoring this remarkable editorial team. We want to highlight and reflect on the array of approaches, complementary and competing, we utilize within and across our disciplines in our common efforts to understand, explain, and even predict human behavior. Our general program chair, Tracy Dietz, working with our affiliate representatives, has assembled an impressive group of panels. Please take full advantage of the offerings in your areas of interest and expertise. Additionally, I encourage each of you to be multidisciplinary. Attend sessions outsie your discipline, and avail yourselves of alternative perspectives and concerns of our colleagues. Sincerely, Douglas Eckberg President, 2009-2010

Presidential Address Randolph Roth, The Ohio State University "Can We Learn to Play Well with Others? Enlisting the Humanities, the Sciences, and the Social Sciences in the Study of Violence"

Randy Roth is Professor of History and Sociology at Ohio State. He received his Ph.D. in History from Yale University and is the author of American Homicide, an interregional history of murder in the United States from colonial times to the present, published by The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2009. He is founder and co-director of the Historical Violence Database at the Criminal Justice Research Center at Ohio State, and he is on the editorial board of Crime, History, and Societies. In 2007, he received the Distinguished Teaching Award from the Ohio Academy of History; and in 2009, he received the Ohio State University Alumni Distinguished Teaching Award.

SSSA President’s Reception: Honoring Bob and Nita Lineberry

Please join with us Thursday evening, 6:00-8:00 p.m., in the Regency Ballroom in the Hyatt Regency for a Presidential Reception in honor of the SSQ’s outgoing editorial team—Bob and Nita Lineberry. SSSA has been very fortunate in our journal editors. We have, in fact, had only two in the past 43 years, Chuck Bonjean (1966-1993) and Bob Lineberry (1993-2010). Chuck took a small, regional journal and made it more general and national in scope. Bob (editor) and Nita (managing editor) have taken the journal to new national and international heights. They were instrumental in getting our contracts with Blackwell (now Wiley-Blackwell) and putting the journal, along with the association, on a firm economic footing. They have overseen the journal—though still called a “quarterly”—now publishing five issues per year. International subscriptions have risen. Under their stewardship the SSQ has become a leader among the population of general social science in the impact of its articles. This is apparent both in citation impact factors and in quirkier measures of impact. SSQ is regularly cited by news media because of interesting articles—a recent one concerns the recent, relative shrinking heights of Americans. If you’ve talked with Bob recently, you also know that SSQ is the only social science journal ever to be mentioned by name in a Jay Leno monologue (this concerned an article on the effect of rare versus common given names). So please come to the reception and help us honor this remarkable editorial team.
