News from the President
Dear ISJR
members,
I hope this
message finds you all well. There
are several updates on ISJR activities to report. First, as most of you
know, we voted on a
new President-Elect since the last newsletter. I am happy to report
that Clara Sabbagh,
from the University
of Haifa,
received
overwhelming support for her candidacy. We are thrilled
to have Clara as part of the executive team!
In
September/October we also selected the
winners of the 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award and the 2010 Early
Career
Contribution Award. Our winners are Prof. Dr. Leo Montada
and Dr. Aaron Kay. Congratulations to you
both! Both awards will be presented at the 2010 conference in Banff. More
information on the winners is
given below.
On
another front, ISJR recently adopted
123signup as its membership management system to handle dues payments,
mail to members,
and so on. Larry Heuer explains more in his message from the treasurer.
Anette
Weidler, our webmaster, is
currently working on giving the ISJR website (http://www.isjr.org) a
new look. Thanks
in advance, Anette, for your efforts on this. We look forward to seeing
the results of your
handywork.
Last but
not least, the formal Call for
Papers is now ready for ISJR’s next biennial conference, to be held in
August 2010 in Banff,
Canada.
John Ellard, the official host, has details later in this newsletter.
Thanks to the entire
organizing committee for their continuing efforts toward what is sure
to be a very stimulating and
productive meeting. Hope to see you all there!
Sincerely,
Carolyn Hafer
President ISJR
President-Elect of ISJR
Clara Sabbagh
was voted in recently as the new
President-Elect of ISJR. Clara is a professor in the Department of
Educational
Leadership and Policy at the University
of Haifa in Israel.
Not only did many
individuals support Clara by voting
for her candidacy, but we also received much unsolicited praise
regarding Clara’s dedication
to ISJR as well as her more general contributions to the field of
social justice, both academically
and as a human rights activist.
No time was lost after
the vote and Clara began her
role as President-Elect in September of this year. She will assume the
role of ISJR President
at the upcoming 2010 conference.
News from the Treasurer
Dear current and former
ISJR members,
I am writing to invite
you to renew your membership
with the International Society for Justice Research for 2010. All
memberships that are paid on or
after October 1, 2009 will be applied to the 2010 year. Your renewed
membership
(annual dues are currently $75 for members with permanent positions, or
$45 for
members without permanent positions) includes a subscription to the
journal
Social Justice Research, and it assists with covering the modest
expenses of
maintaining our Society and providing annual awards. Associate
Memberships are
also available for students (dues for Associate Members are currently $
10 per
year without subscription to Social Justice Research and $ 40 per year,
with a
subscription of SJR included).
Beginning this year, the
ISJR Executive Committee has
made a change in the service provider that will manage our Society's
membership
and event functions. The committee has enlisted the services of
123signup.com.
Many of you might be familiar with this service from your memberships
in other
organizations. We prefer it to PayPal in part because of its facility
for
assisting us with additional functions not offered by PayPal that we
think will
serve our Society well in the future, including the potential for event
management and for secure online elections of officers. 123signup comes
highly recommended
and promises to be as safe and secure for your financial transactions
as PayPal
was.
You can renew your
membership by going to the
membership page of the ISJR website at
http://www.isjr.org/Members.html, or by pointing your
web browser to the appropriate link(s) provided below:

might try to
assist.
Thank you for your
continuing support of the ISJR. I
look forward to seeing your memberships renewed very soon.

Awards to ISJR Members
Faye Crosby
The University
of California, Merced, selected
Faye Crosby as the 2009
recipient of the Alice and Clifford Spendlove Prize in Social Justice,
Diplomacy and Tolerance. The award was established by Sherrie Spendlove
in
honor of her parents to recognize a scholar, author, artist, or citizen
whose
work exemplifies the delivery of social justice, diplomacy and
tolerance in
local and global society. "In our lives as educators and public
servants,
we have drawn strength from our sense of responsibility that the
injustices of
society must be addressed and that our youth must develop an ethic of
tolerance," Alice and Clifford Spendlove once wrote. "What is local
is now global, and what is global is now local. Social justice,
diplomacy and
tolerance are relevant concepts for citizens whatever their identity.
We hope
that the prize will honor those who promote and act on these beliefs."
Hans Bjornsson of UC
Merced informed Fay: "The
Prize Committee awarded you the Prize for being a scholar, author, and
citizen
who, in your work, exemplifies the delivery of social justice,
diplomacy and
Tolerance in the diverse local and global society. As such you are a
role model
and inspiration for students, faculty, and the larger community." The
first winner of the prize was Charles Ogletree of Harvard Law
School.
The second winner
was John Tateishi who lead the fight for reparations to Japanese
Americans who
had been interned in World War II. The third year, the prize was shared
by Sara
O'Meara and Yvonne Fedderson, founders of Childhelp, and organization
for
orphans. The Prize has a value of $10,000.
Faye was nominated for
the prize by Susan Opotow, in
her capacity as President of the Society for the Psychological Study of
Social
Issues (SPSSI).
Kess van den
Bos
Kees van den Bos was
elected Psychology Teacher of the
year by the Psychology students of Utrecht University.
Manfred Schmitt
Manfred Schmitt received
the Alfred-Binet-Award
of the German Psychological Association for outstanding contributions
to the
advancement of psychological assessment.
1st Annual Political Psychology Pre-Conference
at SPSP in Las Vegas:
28 January 2010
Dear colleagues,
We invite you to join us
for the first annual SPSP
political psychology pre-conference in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 28, 2010.
The pre-conference is
being organized in light of what
appears to be a burgeoning increase in political psychology research in
recent
years. By providing a forum in which political psychologists can
present new
findings and discuss the past, present, and future of the field, we
hope to facilitate
generative discussion among researchers who may not otherwise have a
chance to
share ideas. Our objectives in organizing this event are to honor the
leaders
of the field, to break down boundaries between social psychology and
political
psychology, and to promote the next generation of political
psychologists.
We are very excited about
the lineup of confirmed speakers,
as we believe they provide a rich and representative glimpse into the
past,
present, and future of political psychology:
Rachel Calogero
Chris Federico
Adam Galinsky
Ronnie Janoff-Bulman
Jon Krosnick
Howard Lavine
Brenda Major
David Sears
Jim Sidanius
Stacey Sinclair
The pre-conference will
also include a poster session,
a paper swap, a screening of Lenny Martin’s new documentary on
ideology, a
speaker/audience Q & A session moderated by John Jost, and closing
remarks
by Tom Tyler.
Registration is now open
and will close when space is
filled or January 5th, whichever comes first. The deadline for
submitting a
poster is December 15th.
To submit your poster,
register for the
pre-conference, or obtain more information, please visit: http://www.psych.nyu.edu/spsp_politpsych/
We hope to see
you on January 28 – it promises to be
an exciting day!
Sincerely,
Jojanneke van der Toorn and Margarita Krochik
