The American Historical Association’s Task Force on Disability is gathering information about the status and concerns of historians with disabilities in order to propose concrete, practical solutions for as many of them as possible.

Please participate in our survey so that we may ascertain and assess the issues facing historians with disabilities in graduate school, on the job market, in promotion and tenure, in teaching, research, and service-related activities, as well as overall functioning on campus. With this information, the Task Force on Disability will make formal recommendations to the AHA on how to improve accessibility and accommodations in our field.

Please complete the applicable survey:

• Survey of Department Heads and Directors of Graduate Studies
• Survey of Graduate Students with Disabilities or Health Conditions
• Survey of Professional Historians with Disabilities or Health Conditions

These are confidential surveys. Your privacy will be respected and protected. Data will only be reported in the aggregate and no one will see individual responses.

Each person who completes a survey will have the option to enter a random drawing to receive a $100 Amazon gift card. Information provided for the drawing will not be connected to survey results. Responses should be submitted by Friday, October 22, 2010.
