The Academy is dedicated to the objectives of supporting social science research and dialogue and to promoting the value and visibility of the social sciences in Indiana while providing an environment in which social scientists across the state can interact in cooperation and friendship. The Academy holds an annual meeting and produces Endnotes (IASS Newsletter) and publishes the Midwest Social Sciences Journal. The Academy currently recognizes the following social science disciplines: anthropology, business, criminology, economics, history, geography, psychology, political science, and sociology. Environmental studies, gender studies, urban studies, and international studies utilizing social science perspectives and methods are also represented by the Academy. Others may be added by approval of the Board. iii 5 Midwest Social Sciences Journal, Vol. 22 [2019], Iss. 1, Art. 20 BOARD OF DIRECTORS, 2018–2019 Executive Committee Directors at Large • Dulce Maria Scott • Demetra Andrews President Indiana University Indianapolis Anderson University • Bruce Bigelow • Monica Solinas-Saunders Butler University Vice President Indiana University Northwest • Christie Byun Wabash College • Aimee Stephanie Adam Administrative Secretary • Ethan Hollander Indiana University Southeast Wabash College • Nirupama Devaraj • Surekha Rao Executive Secretary Indiana University Northwest Valparaiso University • Selena Doss Sanderfer • Jim Thomas University of Western Kentucky Treasurer Indiana University Northwest • Cliff Staten Indiana University Southeast • Ken Colburn Senior Editor in Chief of the Journal • Kathleen Tobin Butler University Purdue Northwest • Jonathan Swarts • Laura Merrifield Wilson Past President University of Indianapolis Purdue Northwest • Bharath Ganesh-Babu Valparaiso University Webmaster iv https://scholar.valpo.edu/mssj/vol22/iss1/20 6 Staff: Volume 22, Full Contents MISSION AND EDITORIAL POLICY The purpose of the Midwest Social Sciences Journal is to promote and advance the social sciences in Indiana by publishing the highest quality social science theory and research papers available. The Journal recognizes and supports the many diverse perspectives and methods across the several social sciences; it neither espouses nor champions any specific ideological, theoretical, methodological, or political commitments. The Journal is committed to intellectual integrity, rigorous standards of scholarship, and rational and civil discourse. It encourages the presentation and free exchange of diverse viewpoints and seeks to foster open and critical inquiry that privileges no particular standpoint while operating within the limits of a standard of discourse and reason that distinguishes between the pursuit of knowledge and truth versus mere assertions of dogma. Although every effort will be made to publish issues that represent a fair balance of scholarship across the entire spectrum of social science disciplines, the Journal’s first priority will always be to publish the best social science research available at any given time, regardless of disciplinary representation. Toward this end, papers will be accepted for editorial review and publication in the annual issue of the journal at any time of year, whether or not they were presented at the Annual Conference. Persons who submit articles for review are expected to adhere to Author Submission Guidelines detailed elsewhere in this journal and online at www.iass1.org. The Journal has been published annually in the fall both in print and online since Volume 14 (2010–2011). Articles submitted for possible publication are subject to a double-blind review process. The Senior Editor in Chief alone is responsible for making the final decision on all manuscripts and content for publication in the Journal, and the Senior Editor’s decision on publication content is not subject to review by any other member, officer, or body of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences. v 7 Midwest Social Sciences Journal, Vol. 22 [2019], Iss. 1, Art. 20 SENIOR EDITOR IN CHIEF’S NOTE I am quite pleased to present the inaugural issue of the Midwest Social Sciences Journal (formerly Journal of the Indiana Academy of the Social Sciences). This change in journal name was first approved by the IASS Board of Directors in February 2018 and was reaffirmed by the Board at its February 2019 meeting. To acknowledge the Journal’s roots and preserve its continuity with JIASS, I continue with consecutive numbering of issues from JIASS; this first issue of the Midwest Social Sciences Journal (MSSJ) is Volume 22 (2019). As a historical note, the name change from Proceedings of the IASS to the now former title Journal of the IASS was approved by the Board of Directors back in 1998–1999, when the current numbering of issues began. The Journal’s name change reflects several developments in recent years, the most important of which is the fact that our journal’s non-Indiana authors, topics, and readership have grown considerably and frequently reflect a regional, Midwestern focus. We are gratified that many authors and articles published in this journal (as well as authors and presentations at the annual meeting) reflect a national or international background or focus. The world has not only become “smaller” but has also become more connected and interconnected. Indiana in 2019 is thus connected and interconnected in many ways with regional, national, and international economics, culture, environmental concerns, politics, and media. It is not possible to understand Indiana today without simultaneously understanding the other parts of this equation: regional, national, and global. Although we do not intend to lose our “Hoosier” outlook and interest in Indiana, going forward, we hope to publish even more social science research that addresses regional, national, and international contexts and perspectives. This is the major impetus for changing our name and brand as we move forward in the 21st century. Our interdisciplinary commitment remains fixed and unchanged, representing the sine qua non of our identity, and it reflects our unique contribution to understanding phenomena from diverse social sciences. Disciplinary specialization and its institutional correlates, institutionalization and professionalization, threaten to shortchange
