\nToday marks the 5th anniversary of The Society Pages! We’ve been bringing you the latest\u00a0in social science research for five years now, and we have learned a lot along the way. We hope you have too, and we want to thank you for your continued readership and support. We also welcomed\u00a0a new community page to the fold this week, Engaging Sports<\/a>, so be sure to check them out for all things sport and society.<\/p>\n

It’s a new year, a new semester, and, later today, we will have a new president. So stay tuned in to TSP for when you need a\u00a0fresh dose of sociology<\/a> to keep you going.<\/p>\n
