Event Description
On Tuesday, May 6th, the MAA is sponsoring a Premodernist Community Hour for scholars affected by these terminations. This informal Zoom meeting will give scholars an opportunity to talk through their concerns, exchange information about what’s happening, reinforce a sense of scholarly community, and brainstorm about how individuals or collectives might take action. The moderators will also take note of members’ concerns for reporting to the MAA Council and to partner organizations that are better resourced and positioned to advocate on behalf of the humanities in Washington. By coming together to discuss and offer mutual support, we combat a sense of isolation and powerlessness, and apply our combined skills and abilities to the common goal of defending our scholarly communities, reaffirming their cultural value, and preventing their wanton destruction.
Join us on Tuesday May 6th at 1 pm EDT for this virtual town-hall meeting.
