From the Editor

We are back again. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes Canadian Social Studies keeps on going. Since 1991, we have not missed a single issue even though we have had three different publishers. Now we are on our own with the magazine owned by our editorial board. This makes us stronger. We no longer have to worry about hard copy production, distribution costs, and the expenses of a publishing house dependent upon a rather large cash flow from subscriptions to pay the bills. It also increases our readership since anyone can access the journal through the Internet and the price is right! Internet publication puts Canadian Social Studies into the hands of classroom teachers and education students who were not able to afford the cost of the hard copy publication. 

Although we are now an electronic publication, our standards remain the same. We are Canada's only national refereed social studies journal and we will continue to provide a venue for Canadian educators to get their articles into print.

New Associate Editor

I am pleased to welcome Dr. George Richardson to our editorial board as associate editor. George is an assistant professor, social studies area, with the Department of Secondary Education at the University of Alberta. He is a fine writer and very much interested in the well being of our journal. George has shown his mettle as theme editor for this issue on globalization. You will enjoy these articles as our authors do not write in a pedantic dry style. 

Many thanks to those who have helped Canadian Social Studies go on-line. The Faculty of Education of the University of Alberta is especially thanked for providing a web location and assistance in preparing the web site. In particular, Gene Romaniuk, Assistant Dean and Coordinator of the Division of Technology in Education and Bob Bolt, Network Coordinator for clearing the way for our web site location, and Greg Cole, Educational Technology Facilitator for his guidance in using FrontPage to structure our site. We wanted a site that can load quickly, avoid needless bells and whistles, and be user friendly. That we have! It ain't fancy, but it is functional. 

Finally, thanks to our wonderful columnists, feature editors, referee coordinators, and cartoonist who have stuck with us through thick and thin and who are now with us to help usher in this new phase in the publication of our journal.
