Conference Resource Team for the Chicago 2022 Annual Meeting

At its annual meeting, the ASLH makes available a Resource Team composed of three to five members to answer questions and assist members in understanding the ASLH’s policies and procedures, including policies and procedures regarding professional conduct. The Resource Team provides informal support and works with members to ensure that their concerns are heard in a safe and (when possible) confidential way. The Resource Team focuses on members’ well-being and does not investigate alleged violations or recommend actions in response. The members of the resource team for Chicago 2022 are:

Sarah Barringer Gordon, University of Pennsylvania (sbgordon@law.upenn.edu)
Zachary Herz, University of Colorado (zachary.herz@colorado.edu)
Catherine Fisk, University of California, Berkeley (cfisk@berkeley.edu)
