medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Colleagues,
First I want to thank Frank Shaw to bringing the situation of Dr. Anne
Simon to the attention of the scholarly community. I can only second his
assessment of Anne's outstanding work. At this point it is of utmost
importance to support Anne and to try to reverse the decision of the
university. I fear that the case of Anne might test the waters for
further cutbacks in medieval studies. I am also certain that the
developments will be monitored by administrators in the US and other
countries.
It would be extremely helpful if as many societies and individuals as
possible could write to:
The Dean of Arts, Prof. Charles Martindale ([log in to unmask]), the
Head of the School of Modern Lnaguages, Prof. Mike Basker
([log in to unmask]), the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Eric Thomas (c/o his
personal assistant [log in to unmask]). Please copy your
letter to the Chair of the department, Professor Robert Vilain ([log in to unmask]).
With all best wishes,
Volker Schier
