Social Science Diliman, a refereed journal based in the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman, now has a new set of editorial board members. I have accepted the invitation to serve as one of its associate editors.

Dr. Maria Mangahas (Department of Anthropology) is currently the journal’s editor-in-chief. Dr. Maria Joy Abrenica (School of Economics) and Prof. Marie Joy Arguillas (Department of Sociology) are the other associate editors. Dr. Corazon Villareal, director of the Research Dissemination and Utilization Office (RDUO) under UP Diliman’s Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Development (OVCRD), serves as the managing editor.

We had our first meeting last August 16 (Thursday) where we came up with a plan to produce the next issue (or issues) of the publication. We have our work cut out for us because the journal’s most recent issue as of this writing is July-December 2001. (We were informed, however, that there is an issue that will come out soon, thanks to the hard work of the previous editors.) 

If you have any social science-related paper and you are willing to go through a refereeing process, I hope you will consider submitting it to Social Science Diliman.
