TopHighlights
Volume 80, Issue 1 inaugurates the annual "Distinguished Essay" contribution to SI. Our intention henceforth is to dedicate space in the first issue of a volume series to a Distinguished Essay by a notable sociologist on a current topic in the discipline. We are pleased to publish as our first Essay "Immigrant, Immigration and Sociology: Reflecting on the State of the Discipline" by Professor Cecilia Menjívar, the Cowden Distinguished Professor in the Program of Social and Family Dynamics at Arizona State University.
This issue also features a Special Section edited by Professor Michael Stern titled "Contributions to a Sociology of Inequality in the Digital Century." Professor Stern has collected three cutting edge papers and a research note on digital communications and social inequality. The uneven distribution both within and across countries of technologies essential to participation in an increasingly globalized world reminds us that human disparity is never far behind the art of human invention. The papers include:

Kristopher K. Robison & Edward M. Crenshaw
Globalization and Technology Divides: Bifurcation of Policy between the "Digital Divide" and the "Innovation Divide"
