CRITICAL RACE AND ETHNIC STUDY Summer Newsletter July 2025 Society for the Study of Social Problems Message from Current Co-Chair Member News Publications And Presentations SSSP News Award Winners 2024 Meeting Highlights Member News Member News INSIDE THIS ISSUE Message from Current Co-Chair Dear CRES Division members, As I approach the end of my first year as Co-Chair of the CRES Division, I am both thankful and looking forward to connecting with many of you in person at the Chicago meetings. Check out the Division’s sole and co-sponsored sessions in this newsletter, and join me in supporting and learning about the work of our colleagues. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who has lent their effort in organizing this year’s sessions. Speaking of recognizing the amazing work produced by our members... We received an incredible set of submissions for all three of the Division’s awards. My utmost gratitude to those who served on the 2025 CRES Award Committees, who took on the time-consuming and difficult (but also rewarding, of course) task of selecting award recipients. The 2025 CRES Student Paper Award Committee was comprised of Raja Staggers-Hakim (Chair), Kemi Johnson-Pratt, and Bhoomi Thakore. Members of the Kimberlé Crenshaw Award Committee were Korey Tillman (Chair), Stephanie House-Niamke, Emily Castillo, and Crystal Oberle. The Eduardo Bonilla-Silva Book Award Committee included Miltonette Olivia Craig (Chair), Amanda Fackler, Felicia Arriaga, David Embrick, Devon Goss, and Crystal Oberle. A huge thanks for your service to CRES and SSSP. A couple of reminders: our CRES Division Business Meeting will be online and is scheduled for July 24, 2025 from 1 to 2pm PST. I look forward to connecting with you then to recognize award recipients and discuss plans for next year. Your presence, ideas, and energy are crucial for showcasing key work on critical race and ethnic study at next year’s conference. They’re also necessary for generating and maintaining community in these challenging times. I look forward to seeing you online. Also, we have an election (for a CRES Co-Chair) under way. Please be sure to cast your vote by the end of July. As summer 2025 unfolds, I hope you are finding ways to renew and recharge despite (and through) the ongoing stream of bleak news flooding us every day. I hope you are able to “see” and hang on to the hope that comes from the continued resistance—the fierceness of neighbors defending neighbors in LA from detention by ICE (and from being kidnapped by masked individuals posing as ICE agents), the mobilization of labor unions across the country in defense of workers who have been illegally and unfairly terminated, the steadfastness of student activists like Mahmoud Khalil, who continue to denounce the atrocities of Empire.
