The candidates for the Historians Against the War steering committee have now all posted their statements online:

Go there and read about them. Each member of HAW can vote for up to 20 of us.

It looks like a really diverse and interesting group of people. Even if I don't make the cut, it looks like a great group of people to "march" with.

UPDATE, late February:

I am now a member of the HAW steering committee.

My proposal to present a paper has been accepted for the Popular Culture Assocation/American Culture Association 2008 national conference in San Francisco. I will be in San Francisco from the 19th to the 22nd of March and am still hunting for a roommate at the Marriott.

My paper will be presented in the "cemeteries and gravemarkers" section. Read about it here.

This will be my first venture into the "culture associations". In order to attend the conference, I had to join either or both of the PCA or ACA by subscribing to one of the journals. I chose the Journal of American Culture and ended up finding lots of good material for my war and society class at APUS.
