Hi all.
I'm still trying to figure out the purpose of this thread, in the sense
that it is no longer about literary drinking. It seems to be a
comment on either the ADHS website (maintained by good natured and
overworked colleagues) and the SHAD (maintained by a grouchy
editor-in-chief and good natured overworked colleagues).
It is important to remember that SHAD is not a discipline, it's a
journal. ADHS is a society, though "alcohol and drug
history" could be considered a subfield.
I think the "social history" part of the journal title could be
there simply because we don't want a journal named "The HAD"
and "ADH" doesn't become a verbalizable acronym, it sounds more
like choking. (I still think my colleague's journal "The
Journal of the Environment" (acronym JOE) is the best journal
acronym I know. It would be better if it had something to do with
coffee).
As I see it, we shouldn't get hung up on the "Social History"
part of our title, since the content goes far beyond traditional social
history. A quick perusal of the last few issues will reveal that
our articles have broadened considerably since the early years.
This is a feature not, I have to say, of any intentional editorial
lobbying (at least not on my part) but rather on the nature of stuff that
gets sent to us. Increasingly, we receive excellent material on drinking
cultures and marketing, cultural history of drug consumption and so
on. As long as it's historical, it is fair game. Besides,
changing the name again after it changed in 2004 would just be
confusing. We also are going to be listed on EBSCO, so it would
just cause more confusion if we changed the name now.
As for content: I evaluate everything submitted for its relevance prior
to sending it to peer review. Usually, the only time I will say no
to something outright is if it seems to be a non-historical analysis of
current issues. Those authors I direct to other journals, such as
Addiction or Contemporary Drug Problems.
In any case, I certainly would not take the categories of the ADHS
website to be in any way reflective of the nature of scholarship or the
ADHS members' preoccupations. Currently David Fahey, and Matt
McKean (and previously Jon Miller) were the main contributors to the
items on the site. Their work should be commended.
At the same time, we need to recognize that we are made richer by the
contributions of our broad membership. We can always use more
volunteers to maintain such aspects of what we do, since, as I noted,
many are overworked.
Dave (Trippel) , if you're subtly offering to help Matt out with the
website, I bet he'd gratefully take your offer! :)
Cheers
Dan
