The CFP for our First Book Manuscript Workshop is now open. This is a chance for junior scholars - especially those outside R1s/high research activity institutions - to receive critical feedback on a penultimate draft of a book manuscript from senior scholars. Check your email for details.

I’ll be participating in this APSA roundtable/webinar at 12:30. If you have a disability and are prepping for the academic job market and wondering about disclosure and accommodations, or are on/running a search committee and are hoping to make the process more accessible, this might be of interest!

The initiators of this statement realize that it will not feel safe for all members to sign, but hope that those who feel comfortable will sign and distribute it to others in their professional networks and departments.

There is also an option to sign the statement anonymously.

We find ourselves in a crisis moment and must face it through collective action and clear articulations of our intent to defend our work as teachers and scholars.

While the statement focuses on the US, expressions of support are not limited to American scholars.

A group of U.S.-based faculty colleagues from a wide range of disciplines and institutional affiliations have developed and are distributing a statement that expresses our shared commitments to democracy, diversity, and higher education.
