ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA SOCIOLOGY FORUM 

 

THE HISTORY 

CSF was initially published in 2007-2008 by Professor Hyojoung 

Kim. It was re-launched in 2022-2023 by a group of faculty 

members in the Department of Sociology. CSF expresses its 

immense appreciation to all editors—both faculty and student —

who served as the re-launching editorial board. 

 

THE MISSION 

The California Sociology Forum (CSF) is a student-run online 

journal that publishes scholarly and creative works of students 

enrolled in the Sociology program or taking Sociology classes at 

Cal State LA at both the undergraduate and graduate level. It is 

committed to cultivating student research, supporting intellectual 

exchange, and featuring diverse perspectives on various issues of 

our society and world. Students are strongly encouraged to submit 

not only original research papers, but creative works such as 

poems, cartoons, music, pictorial essays, personal essays, and 

fieldwork notes that use the sociological imagination, as well as 

sociologically relevant book and film reviews. As we continue to 

grow, we welcome new additions to our editorial board. Please 

feel free to reach out to us!

CSF 2022-2023 Editorial Board 
Volume 5 was edited and published by the following editorial board. Their innovations 

have left indelible marks on the publication. Not only were Creative Works, Book Review, 
and Film Review sections added, but the board created a brand-new Open Journal website 

in addition to the first print volume. This scope of work far exceeds what will be expected 

of future editorial boards. CSF is indebted to them for these re-launch efforts.
