A Ph.D. in criminology/criminal justice or a related
field is required at the time of appointment, August 15, 2017. Teaching load, salary and benefits are competitive. Oakland University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and
encourages applications from women and/or minorities.

In addition, preference may be given to candidates who could teach courses in additional core program areas. Applicants with professional and/or military experience are especially encouraged to apply.

Located near many cultural and recreational resources in suburban Detroit, Oakland University (http://www.oakland.edu) is a state university enrolling approximately 20,000 students. Given
metro Detroit’s myriad transportation avenues (including highways, railways, and waterways) and its proximity to national and international borders, and the presence of many federal agency

Applications will be accepted at http://jobs.oakland.edu/postings/9706 and should include a
cover letter, curriculum vitae, unofficial transcript, publications or examples of scholarly writing, and evidence of teaching effectiveness or potential, and three letters of recommendation to be submitted directly by the letter-writers.

If you’re going to ASC this year, please participate in the Be the Match Bone Marrow Registry drive on Friday, November 19, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Hilton Riverside hotel. Be the Match will have a table right next to the Division on People of Color and Crime in the Chemin Royale main hallway (where all the division tables will be). It’s easy to register and it only takes a cheek swab, but you may be able to save a life as a bone marrow donor.

This is a special event inspired by our colleague, Alexes Harris. You may know her as a Professor of Sociology at the University of Washington, author of the book, A Pound of Flesh: Monetary Sanctions as a Punishment for the Poor (Russell Sage, 2016), public intellectual and policy influencer. On top of all that, Alexes is a great friend, mom of two young kids, and wife.

In May 2016, Alexes was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer called myelodysplastic syndrome. She learned that her only hope for recovery would be a bone marrow stem cell transplant. She had a tough time finding a match due to her mixed-race background. It turns out that the chances of finding a bone marrow donor match are much lower for people of color than for white patients. In the end, Alexes was able to have an umbilical cord blood transplant, but this inspired her to use her story to motivate others to register for the national bone marrow registry. You can read more at Teamalexes.com and see a news story on her experience and the need for drives here: https://www.iqmediacorp.com/ClipPlayer/…

I hope you will join in our registry effort at ASC and help us make a difference! And if you can volunteer to help at the table, please do! See you in New Orleans!

Call for Abstracts - PUBLICATION OPPORTUNITY

DCS Handbook on Corrections and Sentencing, Volume 3.
We invite abstracts for the third edition of DCS’s Handbook series, entitled The Collateral Consequences of Punishment, edited by Beth Huebner and Natasha Frost. The volume is designed to include contemporary essays on the consequences of punishment during an era of mass incarceration.

The editors seek contributions that detail collateral consequences of a conviction on voting, immigration status, family relationships, and offender health and well-being. We also encourage investigations that consider the consequences of imprisonment ranging from pre-trial detention, to incarceration, to community supervision. Contributions that describe the unique effects of punishment for women, juveniles, immigrants, LGBTQ individuals, and offender sub-populations (i.e., drug and s*x offenders) are also welcomed. In addition, we are seeking works that detail the broader societal impacts of punishment on the economy, democracy and voting, the decarceration movement, and prison and jail privatization. Finally, chapters that detail the broader historical trends in growth in legal sanctions and incarceration over the past three decades are also needed.

We seek contributions that summarize what is known in each topical area, but as important, identify emerging theoretical, empirical, and policy work. We encourage authors to discuss work conducted in an international context and to incorporate discussion of qualitative methodologies when appropriate. In addition, volumes that include a discussion of disparity including: the intersection of race/ethnicity, gender, age, citizenship/immigration status, or socioeconomic status will be prioritized. In this way the book will be grounded in the current knowledge about the specific topics, but also have new, synthetic material that reflects the knowledge of the leading minds in the field.

Please submit abstracts to Beth Huebner [email protected] or Natasha Frost [email protected]. Abstracts are due by September 15, 2016. The target date for Volume 3’s publication is early 2018.
