To the Editor:
Recently the three of us resigned from the program committee planning the 2011 conference of the Medieval Academy of America in Arizona because we support the boycott in protest against Arizona’s recent immigration law, SB 1070. While some provisions of the legislation were struck down by a federal judge, all indications are that this will initiate a court battle that may not be resolved before the time of the academy’s meeting. We therefore urge the executive committee of the academy not to hold the 2011 conference in Arizona, and we urge the 4,000-plus members of the Medieval Academy of America to support the boycott of Arizona until SB 1070 is repealed or confirmed to be unconstitutional.
We’re sorry. Something went wrong.
