Newsletter 35: Summer 2003

Newsletter Editor's Note

These have been difficult times for those of us committed to a more just global order and to international exchange. But the world-wide surge of public opinion that filled the streets last February 15 to say no to war, like the anti-capitalist globalization protestors since Seattle, breathes life into the slogan, "another world is possible." Historians in this country organized against the U.S.'s new surge toward Empire. Below is the statement from the group.
But those of us in Women's and Gender History will be crossing borders in August as we meet in Belfast
And in 2005 the Thirteen Berkshire Conference on the History of Women will meet June 2-5 at Scripps College, Claremont, California, USA under the banner "Sin Fronteras: Women's Histories, Global Conversations." Click Here for the Call for Papers

Deadline for the next newsletter will be October 17, 2003. Please write up conferences that you attend this summer. I'd love reports from various sessions at Belfast. Please let me know changes in contact people. I would like to thank Danielle Swiontek, a graduate student in US Women's History at UCSB, for her help with this issue.

Historians Against the War

We are a network of historians who are opposed to the current empire-building and war-making activities of the United States government at home and abroad; we stand for global justice. As historians (broadly defined to include historically-oriented intellectuals), our principal concerns are historical knowledge and historical education; as HAW, we seek to be active both in the formal educational system (primary, secondary, and higher), in the professional associations, and in the broader arena of public discourse. We will focus on both the domestic/national sphere and on the international sphere, and on the links between the two.
