Marjorie S.

She received a Fulbright Senior Specialist Award in Spring 2012 to collaborate with colleagues at Monash University and RMIT in Melbourne, Australia. 

Zatz's honors and awards include the American Society of Criminology's Herbert Block Award, the American Society of Criminology Division on Women and Crime's Senior Scholar Award; the American Society of Criminology Division on People of Color and Crime's Lifetime Acheivement Award and its Coraemae Richey Mann Award for Outstanding Scholarship on Race, Ethnicity, Crime and Justice; the Western Society of Criminology's W.E.B. DuBois Award for Research on Race and the Administration of Justice and its Paul Tappan Award for Outstanding Contributions to Criminology; and the ASU Faculty Women's Association's Outstanding Mentor of Women Award.  Dr. Zatz received her Ph.D. in 1982 in Sociology with a minor in Latin American Studies from Indiana University, her M.A. in 1979 in Sociology from Indiana University, and her B.A. in 1977 in Sociology with a minor in Latin American Studies from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
