Editorial transition at Fathering.Dr. Jay Fagan, Fathering's current Editor, has announced his resignation effective at the end of the present volume (Volume 4). During the past four years, Dr. Fagan was responsible for launching Fathering during what most would agree was one of the most contentious and competitive periods in the academic journal arena. Dr. Fagan's noteworthy reputation within the fatherhood research community, his marshalling a stellar board of editors, and his conscientious managerial style ensured that Fathering has become a recognized venue for both scholarly theoretical and practical fathering research. As Dr. Fagan leaves his general editorial and shepherding duties behind, he plans to direct more of his energies toward his teaching and research interests. Although Dr. Fagan's presence at Fathering's helm will be sorely missed, we are pleased to announce that Dr. Joseph Pleck, Professor of Human Development and Family Studies, University of Illinois University of Illinois may refer to:
Dr. Pleck's current research includes his work with the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development's Transition to Fatherhood Research Network, collaborating with researchers at five other institutions.

Dr. Pleck is also currently conducting a needs assessment of adolescent and young adult unmarried fathers in east St. Louis, and is beginning new work on incarcerated incarcerated /in·car·cer·at·ed/ (in-kahr´ser-at?ed) imprisoned; constricted; subjected to incarceration. in·car·cer·at·ed adj.

Dr. Pleck serves on several other editorial boards, namely, Parenting: Science and Practice; Psychology of Men and Masculinity; The Journal of Men's Studies Men's studies - also sometimes called masculinity studies - is an interdisciplinary academic field devoted to topics concerning men, gender, and politics. As a relatively new field of study, men's studies was formed largely in response to, and as a critique of, an emerging ; Men and Masculinities; and the International Journal of Men's Health Men's Health Definition Men's health is concerned with identifying, preventing, and treating conditions that are most common or specific to men. . Beginning immediately, all manuscript submissions for Fathering should be sent directly to Dr. Pleck at jhpleck@uiuc.edu. DR. JAMES DOYLE James Doyle can refer to:
