SSSP SOCIETY & MENTAL HEALTH DIVISION NEWS Summer 2014 Ð Volume 10, Issue 2 A NOTE FROM THE CHAIR: Greetings! With the annual meeting just a few weeks away, hereÕs hoping that this newsletter finds you more in the midst of summer fun (e.g., barbequing) than summer concern (e.g., as-yet-unfulfilled summer writing plans). This newsletter contains information on the Society and Mental Health Division events occurring at the Annual MeetingÑall of which would not be possible without the help of many of you. I thank Christine Artello, Matthew Gayman, Jason Houle, Brian Kelly, Krysia Mossakowsi, and Andrea Polonijo for their help in organizing a slate of sessions that cover a broad range of conceptual, methodological, and substantive topics. In addition to the many great regular paper sessions we have planned, I encourage you to attend three other important events: 1. The critical dialogue session on ÒWhatÕs next for the Sociology of Mental Health,Ó which will be a stimulating discussion on the current state(s) and future prospects. 2. The Society and Mental Health Division Meeting 3. The Division Reception Details on all these sessions and events are listed below. Hope to see you there. In the meantime, happy barbeques and inspired summer writing to all!

GREENLEY AWARD WINNER: JANE MCLEOD: We are delighted to announce that this yearÕs James R. Greenley Award for Distinguished Contributions to the Sociology of Mental Health winner is Dr. Jane McLeod of Indiana University-Bloomington. Jane is a leading scholar in the sociology of mental health and in the discipline more generally. A former Chair of the SSSP Mental Health Division, she has also been elected Chair of three American Sociological Association Sections: Mental Health, Children and Youth, and Social Psychology. These section Chairs reflect major themes in JaneÕs scholarship. Among her numerous scholarly contributions, her research has been central in demonstrating the negative educational and mental health consequences of childhood stress exposure. An additional, broader theme in JaneÕs research has been to explicate and elaborate the social structure and personality approach in social psychology, with a specific emphasis on the construction and reproduction of social inequality. Jane will receive the Greenley award at the Society and Mental Health Divisional Meeting.
