Email: rmallick1@student.gsu.edu Note from the Chair Summer 2025 Dear Crime and Justice members, This year marks the 75th Anniversary of the Society for the Study of Social Problems. Given the issues we are confronting on a domestic and international scale, this year’s theme of “Insurgent Sociology in a Time of Crisis” is crucial for us to consider. Anniversaries offer a moment for reflection—not only to honor our past but to ask what kind of future we are working toward. As we look back on 75 years of critical sociological engagement, we are also called to imagine and build a more just, equitable world. The insurgent spirit in our scholarship must not only challenge current crises but also inspire the transformative possibilities of what sociology—and society—can become. We look forward to celebrating those possibilities at this year’s annual meeting in Chicago. We are so fortunate to have dedicated members like you so involved with this upcoming meeting. We are proudly sponsoring or co-sponsoring 7 sessions this year! If you would like to browse the sessions, you can do so by clicking here. Our division meeting will take place Friday, August 8th from 12:30pm – 2:10pm in the Logan Room. In advance of that meeting, please reach out to me if you have ideas for sessions you would like to see the division sponsor at the 2026 meeting, and if you would like to serve as an organizer/presider for the session. One of the great aspects of SSSP annual meetings is that members play such an important role in creating the program, so please make your voice heard if you wish! I hope you all have a wonderful summer, and let’s make the most out of our time in Chicago! Best, Christopher Dum DIVISION ASSOCIATE CHAIR: Miltonette Olivia Craig (2023-2025).
