The Missouri Electronic Journal of Sociology was developed
to publish scholarly research that focuses on sociology in the state of Missouri. Although we do not limit the researcher regarding his or her substantive area (e.g., the
family, politics, urbanization, organizations, etc.) we do ask that events that took place
in Missouri be a central focus of the research. The journal welcomes all types
of research methods, whether they be statistical or qualitative,
comparative or historical.
