Two of our contributors defended their dissertations this past year and earned their doctorates.  Congratulations to Carol Ann and Gary!  They have also both begun new positions this year.  After earning her Ph.D. at Princeton, Carol Ann is now residing in the lovely city of New Orleans and is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Loyola University New Orleans.  After earning his Ph.D. at the University of Arizona, Gary continues his work at the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies, but now as Director of Research (and senior research associate at USC).
