FROM: Vineeta Sinha, Editor, National
University of Singapore
The initiation of a new concept for
an ISA publication, in the form of the e-bulletin, signals
an exciting time for the social sciences in the present.
I am very pleased to participate in the launching of the
first issue of the e-bulletin. This publication carries
an important and central intellectual agenda. This can be
a forum for showcasing the work, practices, ideas and voices
of the diverse community of sociologists, engaged in substantive,
ethnographic, demographic, theoretical, applied, historical
and critical research, and operating out of different locations.
The publication has the potential to stimulate and facilitate
scholarly and professional interaction amongst individual
sociologists, universities, research institutions and non-governmental
organisations - local, regional and international- connecting
in important ways a widely scattered global community. Clearly,
the enthusiasm and co-operation of all ISA members is crucial
in ensuring its success. As editor, I welcome members' contributions,
criticisms and suggestions in this context.
