The purpose of this volume is to pay tribute to the intellectual ideas and scholarly contributions of Randy Hodson. Randy grew up in Wyoming and graduated from the University of Wyoming in 1975; he received his MS in 1977 and his PhD in 1980 both in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin. Randy was promoted through the ranks of assistant, associate, and full professor during his years on the faculties of the University of Texas at Austin (19801985) and Indiana University at Bloomington (19861996). He joined the faculty of the Ohio State University in 1996 where he was a Distinguished Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences.

Randy also provided critical service to his universities and to the American Sociological Association including serving as editor (with Vinnie Roscigno) of the American Sociological Review (20072009), the associations flagship journal.
