摘要：This issue of Southern Rural Sociology (SRS) is my second and completes my first volume as editor of the official journal of the Southern Rural Sociological Association. While an editor’s introduction would usually be included with the first issue, I chose to omit it then. I was focused on the look and feel of the journal and website as we transitioned from print to electronic format. Now that my team and I are moving along apace, I would like to introduce myself for those of you who do not know me, quickly recap the history of SRS to gain some perspective on where we have been, and discuss the direction of the journal over the next two years.
