Email: ttallen@pvamu.edu Greetings CJDD members, We hope you all had a great meeting in Philadelphia this past August. For those of you who were organizers, presiders, and/or discussants at our CJDD sessions in Philadelphia, thank you so very much for helping make this meeting so successful for the CJDD. For those who attended our member’s sessions, we hope you enjoyed listening and learning about CJDD member’s research. Also, a thank you to our CJDD members who volunteered for committee work (e.g., graduate student paper award, lifetime achievement award). Again, without your dedication and expertise, these awards would not come to fruition. All in all, we so very much appreciate everyone’s hard work that goes on behind the scenes to keep the CJDD going strong. Upcoming is the next SSSP annual meeting in New York City (summer 2019). Please keep an eye out for the call for submissions so that we can work together on “Illuminating the SOCIAL in Social Problems.” We have some stellar sessions planned and are excited to see what work CJDD members have in store for us. Before I end my “Notes from the Chair,” I have some very sad news to share with our membership. Dr. Matthew LeClaire, our incoming CJDD Chair, passed away unexpectedly on September 21, 2018. This is a great loss not only for his loved ones and friends but also for us as a division. He was very passionate about his work and role in the CJDD. I know I will miss his dearly, particularly his sharp mind, quick smile, and down-to-earth attitude. For more about Matt, please read Chris Wakefield’s remembrance below in our newsletter.

We'll talk about research areas that offer important areas of engagement for critical criminologists and the changes within the field, academia, and society at large for which we want to argue. We'll also discuss how to achieve those changes, including strategies and techniques for achieving social justice, discussions on critical methodologies and pedagogy, and our long-term goals as a field. The conference will feature: Two keynote speakers; Workshops during the conference and a post-conference workshop organized by notable experts;  An undergraduate and graduate student poster session; and Research panels on the conference themes and beyond!

Bunting is a doctoral candidate and National Institute on Drug Abuse predoctoral trainee at the University of Kentucky. Recently recognized by the Philanthropic Educational Organization (P.E.O.) with a prestigious Scholar Award for her “ability to make a significant contribution to her field,” her research examines barriers to securing employment, accessing health care, and receiving appropriate substance abuse treatment among criminal justice involved populations. Her dissertation examines important reentry and health outcomes among polysubstance using individuals following their release from prison. Interested in quantitative methodologies, Amanda uses latent class analysis in her dissertation to answer the question: How does the different poly-substance use behavior among formerly incarcerated individuals who use opioids differentially impact reentry outcomes?

He was elected to be the incoming chair of our division and was well-known at SSSP for his infectious enthusiasm, sharp intellect, and an approach to sociology that was not afraid to stand out from the crowd. What he was less known for (but equally deserving of recognition) was his activism in his local community, his tremendously influential and award-winning work in the classroom, and his mentorship of fellow graduate students— of whom I was but one. Matthew was a one-of-a-kind scholar, the likes of which we never knew we needed. Coming up from humble beginnings, a difficult childhood, and a rich, personal history of experience in sub-cultural groups, he brought a nuanced, critically-minded approach to the study of delinquency. His personal experience became a tool in the classroom, inspiring his students to look beyond the textbook. He encouraging students to get their hands dirty by exploring groups far removed from their personal experience and to take the lessons of sociology into the real world. In fact, the halls of his former graduate school department, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, are still lined with the poster presentations from his classes, where no other undergraduate class’s work is featured. It is no wonder UNLV saw fit to award him with a University-wide teaching award. Matthew had just completed his Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and begun a tenure-track position this Fall teaching in both sociology and criminology at Coppin State University in Baltimore. It was his dream to move beyond his beginnings and excel in the every day acts of teaching, knowledge creation, and activism. Matthew lives on in the work of his peers, students, and faculty who he inspired to push the boundaries of teaching, research, and community involvement.
