Call for Nominations
Hello DWC members,
We are now calling for Nominations in a Special Election. We are looking to fill the open positions of Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary/Treasurer, and Graduate Student Executive Counselor.
Members can nominate others or self-nominate.
Following the DWC Constitution, Chair and Graduate Student Executive elections are meant to occur in odd years, while Vice-Chair and Secretary/Treasurer elections are meant to run in even years. As such, these are the open positions and their terms:
Chair: Early 2022- November 2023
Vice Chair: Early 2022 – November 2022
Secretary/Treasurer: Early 2022 – November 2022
Graduate Student Executive Counselor: Early 2022- November 2023
We are not limiting the number of nominees who can run for each office during this election, but the nominees must be dues-paying members of the DWC.
The DWC earnestly seeks to address structural barriers to racial and LGBTQIA+ justice within a feminist criminological perspective and to execute change within our organization. Therefore, we are particularly inviting members committed to addressing these goals. We strongly invite scholars with academic and personal commitments to community engagement and racial and social justice. We ask those standing to explicitly address both of those areas in their personal biography by describing up to 5 bullet points of inclusivity actions they have taken or with which they have been involved.
Please send nominations to Dr. Shavonne Arthurs (sarthurs@setonhill.edu) and Dr. Samantha Gavin (sgavin@sbu.edu) by January 3, 2022 with the nominee’s name, email address, candidate biography (100 words), positionality statement (100 words), and position for which you are nominating the individual. Self-nominations are welcome.
