As the inaugural editorial board, we are honored to announce the introduction of Sexualization, Media, & Society (SMS), a new research journal intended to disseminate high-quality scholarship examining the influence of sexualized media in all forms on individuals, relationships, communities, and society. Hosted by Wheelock College and Virginia Commonwealth University, this new journal adopts a critical perspective aiming to integrate social, behavioral, political, economic, ethical, cultural, and health research into a comprehensive academic and professional resource.
