Brief Biography:

I am Antwan Jones, Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at The George Washington University. I received my B.A. in Sociology and African & African-American Studies from Duke University and my Ph.D. in Sociology from Bowling Green State University. While I am trained as a social demographer, my research examines various intersections in the areas of race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status and health. As an urban sociologist, I am particularly concerned with how socio-environmental processes affect the health and well-being of children and adults.

In addition to my research, I have held many prominent leadership positions within boards and organizations. I have served on Bowling Green State University's Board of Trustees, the American Sociological Association's Advisory Board and the Society for the Study of Social Problems Board of Directors.

What I think of the idea behind WebmedCentral:

I believe the model of post publication peer review is novel because it protects and maximizes individuals' time while still minimizing costs. I would like to see more biomedical publications adopt this practice!
