“A Necessary Prescription”: Virtual Special Issue and Symposium on Healthcare and Org Theory
Check out our latest virtual special issue, learn about art in older issues, and help us thank our editors for their hard work!
On September 20, ASQ hosted an online symposium on healthcare and organization theory. The symposium was expertly organized by Julia DiBenigno and Tom D’Aunno in order to bring together the authors of all seven papers in their virtual special issue on healthcare. The special issue is a curation of some of the best papers published by ASQ in the healthcare sector in the last decade. Many of you asked us to record the symposium, so we did! You can watch it here.
The virtual special issue, "A Necessary Prescription: How Studies of Healthcare Can Advance Theory and Practice," includes an introduction by Julia and Tom that demonstrates how many impactful ASQ articles have ties to this research context. Sage has made the seven articles featured in the virtual special issue available to download until November 1, 2024.

Milestones and Thanks
September also marks some important milestones for ASQ:
Mike Pratt, former associate editor, completed his 494th (!) and FINAL decision letter for ASQ after more than 11 years of service to the journal. Thank you, Mike!
Wes Sine, the co-editor (and formerly sole editor) of ASQ’s book review program, stepped down after 14 years of service. He handled approximately 280 book reviews in that time and was key to keeping this important program thriving. Thank you, Wes!
Christina Ahmadjian has just completed her second and final term as an associate editor, having helped us with our reach into Asia for the past six years. Although she will no longer handle new submissions, she will continue to shepherd a few revisions. Thank you, Christina!
We thank all three of these terrific scholars and colleagues for their service and dedication to ASQ!

Slightly ASQ
For decades, ASQ has featured drawings, photos, and paintings on our cover. This newsletter gives us a fun opportunity to showcase some of them, including some that may seem slightly unusual to us now, starting with the artwork from our December 1974 issue:
And if you’re wondering about “Slightly ASQ,” that was a ChatGPT-generated suggestion for how to title this newsletter! When associate editor J.P. Eggers shared it with our editorial team, it elicited enough laughs to warrant a section title in this newsletter. If you have suggestions for future “Slightly ASQ” content, drop a comment and let us know.

Editor, ASQ
I love this new feature. Especially the artwork, because I remember back in the early 1970s when Tom and then Karl (the editors I served as Associate Editor under),began choosing those wacky covers. Actually, now that I think about it, I think Bill Starbuck started the whole thing.
