(another unrelated photo)[see UPDATE, below]
Over at Dr. Virago's place, there is a beautifully worded letter from her friend the General, explaining why she was more than just disappointed in the Medieval Academy's decision to keep the conference in Tempe.
I've posted about this before, but the General's letter deserves wide reading.
UPDATE: three members of the program committee, all ASU professors, have resigned from the program committee in protest; read their open letter here.
(And before someone says something: yes, I know that the most objectionable provisions of the law -- the "show your papers" thing -- were suspended for now. But the MA made their decision before that happened, so the General's concern about how the Academy views her and people like her is, in my opinion, completely valid. Same for our Latina/o friends in the ASEH.)
