Dear colleagues-
I am writing you as the Chair of the Program Committee for the Division
of Communities and Place. The Division is looking to put together a
series of “Communities and Place” panels for the 2019 American Society
of Criminology annual meeting. We are accepting
full panels and individual papers that examine crime and justice issues
with a focus on communities and/or place.
This is a great way to join a (hopefully) more relevant panel than you may end up on by submitting on your own, and all the panels will be advertised to Division members (last year this resulted in increased turnout at the Division-organized panels).
This solicitation is open to anyone, so please feel free to forward this invitation to any scholars working on relevant research.
If you are interested in presenting on a Communities and Place panel at ASC 2019 (in San Francisco), please send us your name, school/organization affiliation, title of presentation, and presentation abstract, as well as the name, emails and affiliations of any co-authors. Additionally, all participants and ALL co-authors need to create an account on the ASC 2019 Annual meeting website (https://convention2.allacademic.com/one/asc/asc19/), which is free of charge.
With the ASC submission deadline of Friday, March 8, 2019, we are asking for submissions to us one week earlier. So please send all submissions to Kevin Drakulich (k.drakulich@northeastern.edu) no later than Friday, March 1, 2019.
We do ask that all participants consider becoming members of the Division to help support this work (this can be added as part of your ASC membership or “added on” from the members area if you have already purchased an ASC membership for 2019).
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Otherwise, we look forward to seeing a great group of Communities and Place panels at the 2019 ASC meeting!
Best,
Kevin Drakulich, Chair of the Program Committee for the Division of Communities and Place
