GREENSBORO, NC – Dr. David H. Demo, chair of the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, has been appointed editor of The Journal of Marriage and Family.
“It’s a distinct honor to be selected as editor of the flagship journal in family studies,” Demo said. “JMF has a rich tradition and an outstanding reputation as a widely-read and influential journal. I look forward to working with authors, reviewers and members of the editorial board to strengthen the journal’s visibility and impact.”
Demo’s work has been widely published in scholarly journals and edited volumes, and he has written or edited numerous books. In 1994, he co-authored “Family Diversity and Well-being,” a recipient of the Choice Magazine’s Outstanding Academic Book Award. He is an authority on many family issues such as stress, divorce, diversity and adolescence.
In 2000, the National Council on Family Relations, publisher of The Journal of Marriage and Family, named him a fellow. He brings more than two decades of editorial board experience from several academic journals, including The Journal of Marriage and Family.
Demo begins his four-year term as JMF editor in September. For more information on the National Council on Family Relations, call (888) 781-9331 or visit www.ncfr.org.
