Letter from
the Editor
Greetings!
I hope the cooling fall season finds you well
and invigorated for the upcoming American Society
of Criminology meetings and end of the semester.
This is our annual edition where we focus on
the conference and provide an overview of the
DWC events over the four-day meetings. This
is also the time when we send out our sincere
thanks to outgoing DWC officers and congratulate
the winners of the 2005 DWC election:
DWC Chair: Sharon Redhawk Love
Executive Counselor: Stacy Mallicoat
Executive Counselor: Brenda Sims Blackwell
Congratulations Sharon, Stacy and Brenda! Many
thanks to the outgoing executive counselors
and special appreciation to Susan Sharp for
her outstanding service to the Division. In
particular, Susan committed enormous time and
effort to launching the new DWC journal, Feminist
Criminology. Our sincere thanks to her for
this major undertaking and contribution to the
Division. And as a reminder, manuscripts and
reviewers are needed for the journal. If you
are willing to be placed on a reviewer list,
please send Susan an e-mail (ssharp@ou.edu)
and list your areas of expertise so that she
can make appropriate decisions when sending
out manuscripts. Also, most of the manuscripts
and forms are sent out electronically, so please
let Susan know if you would rather receive a
hard copy.
We have a wonderful newsletter compiled for
you with news around the Division, helpful advice
from the Graduate Student Corner, important
funding and employment announcements, and a
new DWC Outreach Report.
As you review the issue, consider how you might
like to contribute to the winter edition to
be released in January 2006, or volunteer to
assist with a particular column. We are also
looking for volunteers to be part of the Member
Profiles column. If you are interested, please
contact me at kwinokur@thejrc.com.
Keep sending in your news and accomplishments,
as we love to hear about the latest events in
your neck of the woods!
My continued thanks to all column contributors
for this issue of the DivisioNews, as
well as to my co-editor Amy D'Unger and associate
editors: Amanda Burgess-Proctor, Jeanne Flavin,
Venessa Garcia, Kristen Hefley, and Alisa Smith!
Please feel free to contact us with any questions,
thoughts, or suggestions you may have.
Take good care,
Kristin Parsons Winokur
