Email: ttallen@pvamu.edu Greetings CJDD team! Hopefully everyone is starting to enjoy some warm(er) weather as we approach the first official day of spring (March 20th). For this “Notes from the Chair,” I have a few things I would like to share with our members. Legislative Highlight (I am a bit delayed in relaying this highlight.): In 2018, Congress passed the first major criminal justice reform legislation in nearly a decade – The First Step Act. If you would like to read up on this Act, see: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/5682/text New CJDD Award Highlight: Our division created a new award for our members. Beginning in 2020, we will launch the “Scholarly Achievement Award.” The Award committee will select up to two winners for this award annually. Nominees will be able to apply to one of three award categories: research/scholarship, teaching/mentoring, or leadership/activism. Look for the upcoming call for nominees on SSSP’s CJDD webpage and in our newsletter. Last but not least, please be a meeting mentor at this upcoming annual meeting in New York City (NYC). I have been a meeting mentor in the past, which gave me the opportunity to meet our wonderful CJDD graduate students at various stages in their academic careers. It is a fun and rewarding experience. If you are interested in being a meeting mentor in NYC, please e-mail Dr. Louis Edgar Esparza at lesparz5@calstatela.edu by June 30, 2019. All my best, Kristen Kristen M.

The core aims to promote educational excellence through examining the criminalization of trauma and exclusionary discipline that prevent African American and Latinx children from engaging in learning. The core’s strength-based, community-informed research has the potential to inform the school, family and community level interventions that promote healing and decrease the criminalization of trauma. The core aspires to be an inclusive environment in which faculty, students, and community members, including those from historically underrepresented groups, contribute towards meaningful change.
