Text Box: to the point of allowing anyone who pays dues to one to belong to the other. Of course, you still have to pay ASC or ACJS dues or both. We are hoping that people who choose to pay dues only to ACJS can still join with us in many ways. Finally, as you have noticed, we have put together an excellent team of editors for The Critical Criminologist, which you are now reading. We are assured of the regular publication of three issues a year of this newsletter, which will also go free to members. If you look Text Box: at other divisions of other associations, I think that it will be hard to find many that offer a quality newsletter and a quality journal for annual dues that amount to substantially less than the price of one ticket to a Cincinnati Bengals football game (and who would want that?). What is up next? Come to our business meeting, e-mail me with suggestions, join with us to help us all combine learning and enjoying each other together. Text Box: CC Events at ASC— by Mary Bosworth Text Box: This year’s ASC meeting will be held in San Francisco from Tuesday November 14 to Saturday November 18.  The theme of the conference is “Crime and Criminology in the year 2000.”  It promises to be the usual overwhelming mix of styles and topics which  we have all grown accustomed to in this enormous annual conference.  There are, however, a number of panels that  members of the critical criminology division may wish to attend. The division's big night will be Friday in the Grand Hyatt (Mercer A&B), with the open business meeting for all members at 7:15, immediately after the plenary. The cash bar social will immediately follow in the same room 8:30 to midnight. The Division Steering Committee will meet Thursday at 4 p.m. in the Chelsea Room. In addition to these organizational meetings, the division has sponsored seventeen panels on a variety of topics.  Session 423 on “Agency, Structure and Critical Criminology” meets on Friday at 1:00 pm. Session 43 will see Jock Young discussing his recent book The Exclusive Society on Wednesday at 9:40 am. Session 76 is “Critical Criminology and New Labour Government in Britain,” and meets from 1:00 to 2:30 pm on Wednesday.  On Wednesday at 4:20 pm Text Box: there is also a session (144) on “State and Governmental Crime.” Session 454 covers “Critical Perspectives in World Context” on Friday at 2:40 pm while Session 284 is entitled “Critical Perspectives and Environmental Crime” on Thursday at 2:40 pm.  Session 316 on Thursday at 4:20 pm will discuss “Ideology, Knowledge and Power” while Session 182 on “Peacemaking Criminology” is for early birds at 8:00 am on Thursday.  On Friday session 488 “Author Meets Critics: Erich Fromm and Critical Criminology: Beyond the Punitive Society” (Kevin Anderson and Richard Quinney) promises to offer stimulating conversation. The last two sessions directly sponsored by the division are “Critical perspectives on incarceration and post-incarceration” which is early on Friday at 8:00 am and a Roundtable on “The New Convict Criminology” to be held on Thursday night from 7.30-9:30 pm. Some other panels that I think might be interesting for members are Session 249 on “Women and Crime” on Thursday at 1:00 pm or at the same time “Femininities, Masculinities and Crime.” The ‘Punishment and Society’ folks are presenting in session 419 on Friday at 1:00 pm and anyone who is awake on Thursday at 8:00 am should consider Text Box: The Critical Criminologist Text Box: Page # Text Box: “The self-overcoming of morality, out of truthfulness; the self-overcoming of the moralist into his opposite—into me—that is what the name of Zarathustra means in my mouth” Nietzsche, Ecce Homo Text Box:
