I'm off to the American Historical Association conference to interview candidates and fight for a resolution at the business meeeting on Saturday at 4:45 p.m. The resolution condemns the use of speech codes to restrict academic freedom. Details here.

If you are an AHA member and can attend, the sponsors of the resolution need your help. It will be an uphill battle to get this passed but the potential pay-off for academic freedom of winning will be enormous.
