****Message sent on behalf of Helen Howard, co-director, Subject Centre for
Sociology, Anthropology and Politics *******************************
Criminologists from across England, Scotland and Wales have formed to take
forward plans to raise the profile of criminology across the academy. With
thanks to four Subject Centres (C-SAP, Psychology, UKCLE and SWAP) for
initial funding, the first strand of this work is to establish a national teaching
award in collaboration with the British Society of Criminology and Sage
publications. The group is working on criteria for this award, which will be
open to all working in HE teaching criminology. It is anticipated that the first
of these awards will be made in summer 2011. A planned Symposium on
Teaching Criminology is scheduled for the summer and details of this will be
announced shortly. The group is also developing a number of case studies to
highlight examples of teaching practice within the discipline. If you would like
to contribute to this aspect of the work please contact Helen Jones
