From the Editors
This past year has been a challenge in many ways. Still, it has been a pleasure to work with the community of writers, anonymous peer reviewers, and staff who make this magazine possible. In 2020, our previous managing editor, Paige Miller, transitioned out of her role, as well as Catherine Bolzendahl and Sabrina Strings transitioned out of their roles as editors of our culture section. We thank each of them for their work with Contexts. In 2020, we also welcomed Genesis Fuentes and Simone Durham as our new managing editors. In addition, Simone now oversees the culture section and the management of contexts.org.
Through our internal staffing changes, we have been fortunate that our community of readers continues to grow. We’re happy to report that in 2020, we had over one million combined page views and article downloads.
Our Winter 2021 issue is a special issue edited by Victoria Reyes and Marco Garrido, two outstanding early-career scholars who are transforming how we understand urban life and global politics. This issue on Ethnographies of the Global South promises to reveal more cutting-edge research on issues critical to our work as sociologists. We hope that you enjoy it.
