Letter
from the Editor
Greetings! This
is my first issue as the editor for DivisioNews.
Previously I served as an associate editor for
the newsletter. I cannot say enough about the
wonderful work of my predecessor, Susan Sharp.
She created the online DivisioNews and
made it a newsletter we can all be proud of.
I want to thank her very much for her support
and assistance with this issue.
We have covered
a lot of ground in the Spring 2002 issue. First,
please join me in welcoming our new Division
Chair, Joanne Belknap. Our thanks go to Joanne
for her inspiring contribution to this issue,
which can be found in the Letter
from the Division Chair column.
For the latest
in the activities going on in and around the
Division, please visit our News
and Announcements column.
Associate Editor Amy D'Unger continues to do
a terrific job of chronicling our events. Please
make sure to contact Amy at adunger@emory.edu
with updates on your career moves, recent publications,
research, activities, and life events! It is
often hard to keep up with our colleagues and
the News and Announcements section is a wonderful
way to stay in touch.
I would like to
welcome Alisa Smith to the DivisioNews
team as our new Associate Editor of Book
Reviews. Please be sure to contact
Alisa at profasmith@yahoo.com
if you are interested in writing a review or
have a book that you would like to see reviewed.
In this issue you will find a review written
by Deborah Burris-Kitchen about Dragan Milovanovic
and Kathryn K. Russell's recently published
book, Petit Apartheid in the U. S. Criminal
Justice System: The Dark Figure of Racism (2001).
I am happy to
report that Susan Sharp will continue to be
an integral member of the DivisioNews
team as the new Associate Editor of the Ask
a Tenured Professor column. One of
the most informative components of the newsletter,
in this issue the column includes…… If you would
like to have a particular question addressed
in the column or would like to volunteer to
respond to questions, please contact Susan at
ssharp@ou.edu.
We have a great
Graduate
Student Corner this issue. Our new

The Corner includes questions/answers about:
- Getting an
edge in the job market

politics

mentor/major professor

tips

right job (school) for you
- Areas of expertise
- Consulting
work
Special thanks
to the column contributors: Becky Block, Ellen
Cohn, Christina DeJong, Amy D'Unger, Nancy Hogan,
Joanne Kaufman, and Amanda Robinson. Faculty

Graduate
Student Corner - please contact me

Calling all graduate students, if you have a
particular question you would like to see answered
in the column, please contact Amanda Burgess-Proctor

In an effort to
learn more about each other, we have our Member
Profiles column. Angie Moe, who is
the new associate editor of the Profiles, has
come up with some thought-provoking questions
for the column. Many of you will recall Angie's
prior great work as the editor in charge of
the Graduate
Student Corner. The Spring
2002 issue includes a profile of the new DivisioNews
editor, Kristin Winokur (at Angie's request
J). We would love to profile multiple members
in upcoming issues. Tell us all about yourself
and your work! Don't be shy - let us know if
you are interested in being profiled by contacting
Angie at: angie.wan@uta.edu.
It is a great way to get the word out about
your research, writing and interests!
We would like to
add a new continuing Letter to the Editor column
in future issues. We need your input though.
Have something on your mind, like to see new
directions or changes, send a letter to the
editor! In particular, we are interested in
people's opinions about the upcoming ASC conference
including the presidential panels, paper panels,
and poster sessions. Are you planning to participate?
Did you do things differently this year? Do
you have suggestions on how to respond to the
changes? Let us know what you think!
I would like to
thank my associate editors for all their hard
work. I am excited to be working with this great
team of people and know that I couldn't do any
of this without them. My many thanks to Amy
D'Unger, Alisa Smith, Susan Sharp, Angie Moe,
and Amanda Burgess-Proctor.
Please reach out
and let us know your thoughts about the newsletter.
What would you like to see discussed? What suggestions
for improvements do you have? We welcome all
contributions. Help us to make the DivisioNews
a great resource for all DWC members.
Many thanks and
regards,
Kristin Winokur kwinokur@garnet.acns.fsu.edu
