A note from the President
Dear Friends.
With the formal study of social justice, as with so much else in life,
the devil is in the details. So, in this message, I’d like to communicate
a few specific items of information and also a general one.
First, with the help of our paid worker, Sibylle Classen, along with
if Treasurer Karen Hegdvedt, my assistants and I have been trying to get
the membership files up to date. This task has proven somewhat more
difficult than we anticipated. Who would have thought that it would
be so hard to keep the list current? You can help a lot by paying your
membership dues promptly and by communicating to Karen any changes in address
or email.
You can also help by letting me know your opinions about whether you
prefer to pay by mail or to use an electronic system such as paypal.
If you have strong feelings, please email me at
fjcrosby@ucsc.edu
.
Second, Jeff Pfeifer and his colleagues at the University of Regina
in Canada have been working incredibly hard to put together what promises
to be an outstanding conference for the end of June. You can read more
about that in other parts of the Newsletter, and we hope to see you there!
The website for the conference is:
http://cat.uregina.ca/isjr
. Or you can access it through our main website: www.isjr.org.
I personally also hope that some of the ISJR members will think about
attending the biannual conference of the Society for the Psychological
Study of Social Issues (SPSSI) that will take place in Washington DC just
prior to our own conference. SPSSI has a long and distinguished history
as an organization that combines scholarship and activism. Some ISJR
members are already members of SPSSI. Others have just received a
gift membership to SPSSI, from me. If you are an ISJR member who is
not already a SPSSI member but who would like to be, and if you did not
recently get an email from me announcing the gift membership, then you should
email me at your earliest convenience. SPSSI’s website is:
www.spssi.org
.
We also hope that people will begin thinking about the 2006 conference.
Does anyone have a venue in mind? It’s time to begin to explore our
options. At the business meeting in Regina, we will want to select
the site for 2006. So – put your thinking caps on now. Feel
free to contact me to explore possibilities.
And while those thinking caps are on, you might cast a thought to whether
you would like to be the next Treasurer or the next Secretary of ISJR.
In Regina, we will elect the next Treasurer and Secretary.
Before Regina, we will know the name of the next President. We
are keeping the ballots as they come in and my assistant, Audrey Leonard,
will count them. By December 1, we should be able to announce the
winner. With the help of Dahlia Moore and Audrey Leonard, we will
be able to email the results to you.
So much for the details. Now for the general message. I
wish generally to express heart-felt thanks to all the members, officers,
and staff who volunteer their time and go above and beyond the call of duty
for ISJR. When Mel Lerner conceived of the idea of an international
community of scholars who could study issues of justice, he had a brilliant
idea. Mel, Leo Montada, Riel Vermunt, Ron Dillehay, and many others
worked hard to transform a good idea into a living reality. Meanwhile,
the current cohort of enthusiasts has been working equally hard to continue
the dream. Karen Hegdvedt has spent countless hours regularizing the
membership rolls. Her work has been extremely important to us all
and especially to John Jost, who has agreed to take over the editorship
of SJR. Meanwhile, Kees van den Bos has stood at the ready to help
in any emergency, and Dahlia Moore has been her usual indefatigable self
putting together the newsletters and generating one good innovation after
another. Jeff Pfeifer and colleagues have been working hard to make
the 10th biannual ISJR conference a roaring success. And all the while,
with the courtly presence of Leo Montada in the background, Sibylle Classen
and Anette Weidler have labored at keeping our financial affairs in order
and our website up to date! To all, I offer my sincere thanks.
Now, if only we could get our political leaders to work as hard at creating
justice as we work to create an organization to study justice, the world
would be a much sunnier place!
Best wishes to us all.

A note from the Treasurer
IT’S A TIMING THING: DUES PAYMENT AND THE ARRIVAL OF SJR
ISJR members who paid their 2002 dues (by January of 2003) recently received
a bundle of four issues of Social Justice Research. Soon Kluwer, the
publisher of SJR, will ask for the list of 2003 dues paid members so that
issues of volume 16 may go out (as a bundle). While receiving
packages may be exciting, many ISJR members have rightfully expressed concern
about not getting issues in a timely fashion. The executive committee
and SJR editors concur.
To rectify this situation – and provide issues as they are produced –
we must submit the names of dues paid members to Kluwer very early in the
year (e.g., February). To that end, we encourage members to submit
their dues as soon as possible (see the credit card payment form included
in this newsletter). In addition, we will send a personal email with
the credit card payment form as a reminder to pay dues for 2004. Payments
will be processed by Ms. Sibylle Clausen, who will forward the money to
the ISJR account so that we can pay Kluwer before the March issue is completed.
Kluwer can then send out journal issues as they are produced.
Thus, it is a timing thing: when dues come in on time (by January),
then issues of the journal can go out on time. No more big packages,
but more frequent news of new studies and results. Thank you for helping
us to ensure synchronization of the timing!

In 2004 the University of Regina will host the Xth biennial conference

scholars and practitioners, people working in other professions and in government,
and representatives from a range of academic disciplines. The conference
will be in session from June 30th – July 3rd, 2004.
