Anew journal editorwho follows a successful predecessor faces a daunting challenge. Doubly so if that predecessor was the founder of the journal. Everyone in engineering studies, and everyone associated with Engineering Studies, owes Gary Downey an enormous debt for putting the journal on its feet, bringing it through nine great volumes, and integrating itwith the International Network for Engineering Studies (INES) andother institutions in our field. Much of my own research highlights the importance of institutions such as journals, conference series, professional societies, academic centers, and funding streams in constituting research communities. I knowhowmuch a field like engineering studies needs those institutions, but also how difficult it can be for the people who try to hold those institutions together. Several of the community builders I’ve written about were driven to distraction, ill health, or megalomania, or simply gave up and left the fields they helped establish. Fortunately, Gary hasn’t succumbed and will remain a vital part of INES and a resource for the journal. For myself and the entire editorial team: thank you, Gary!

期刊介绍:
Engineering Studies is an interdisciplinary, international journal devoted to the scholarly study of engineers and engineering. Its mission is threefold:
1. to advance critical analysis in historical, social, cultural, political, philosophical, rhetorical, and organizational studies of engineers and engineering;
2. to help build and serve diverse communities of researchers interested in engineering studies;
3. to link scholarly work in engineering studies with broader discussions and debates about engineering education, research, practice, policy, and representation.
The editors of Engineering Studies are interested in papers that consider the following questions:
• How does this paper enhance critical understanding of engineers or engineering?
• What are the relationships among the technical and nontechnical dimensions of engineering practices, and how do these relationships change over time and from place to place?
