Conference Resource Team for the 2023 Annual Meeting

We seek to ensure that all participants in the ASLH annual conference conform to appropriate and approved norms of professional conduct in a context free from harassment and discrimination. We affirm our commitment to maintaining an atmosphere conducive to the collegial and open exchange of scholarly viewpoints and information.

Our Resource Team is composed of five members who have volunteered to provide informal consultation about questions of organization, content, and conduct at the meeting. Members of the Resource Team will be able to assist members in understanding the ASLH’s policies and procedures, including policies and procedures regarding professional conduct. The Resource Team will provide informal support and work with members to ensure that their concerns are heard in a safe and (where possible) confidential space. The Resource Team is focused on members’ well-being and will not investigate or recommend action.

The members of the resource team for Philadelphia 2023 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)
Myisha S. Eatmon, Harvard University (myishaeatmon@fas.harvard.edu)
Jared Berkowitz, University of Chicago ( jsberkowitz@uchicago.edu)
