Mari Borr, professor in the School of Education, has been selected as the new editor of the Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal, a publication of the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences.

The journal publishes research in all areas of family and consumer sciences concerned with the well-being of individuals and families. It covers such topics as consumerism, human development and family studies related to housing, technology, nutrition and textiles.

“Keeping up with digital technology trends in publishing, recruiting authors and manuscripts, and ensuring a timely, thorough and smooth process from submission to publication are certainly goals that I will focus on as editor,” said Borr, whose first publication as editor is scheduled to be released in December.

Since 2014, Borr has been the journal’s associate editor for the FCS Education content area. In 2017, she was president for the Association for Career and Technical Education Research Division.

Borr has been a family and consumer sciences teacher educator at NDSU since 2005. She earned her bachelor’s degree and Master of Education in family and consumer sciences education from NDSU. She earned her doctorate in teaching and learning at the University of North Dakota. Her research interests include experiential learning and the use of technology in the classroom.
