Historians Against War Steering Committee Candidates Now Online...

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

http://www.historiansagainstwar.org/aha08/nominations.html

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.

Running for the steering committee of "Historians Against the War"...

I am running for the steering committee of Historians Against the War.

Here is the brief statement I am putting out on the HAW ballot:
I am an activist and founding member of the Tübingen Progressive Americans which works with IVAW and the Military Counseling Network here in Germany and strives to give the "other" America a public voice here in Europe.

As a citizen watching his country from abroad and from within the online classroom, I am both concerned and hopeful about what I see. Like many people around the world, I am very concerned about both domestic and foreign developments connected with the war in Iraq and the wider "Global War on Terror." From within European society, I have seen first-hand the severe erosion of my country's international reputation stemming from our reckless and aggressive foreign policy. As an historian, I am concerned by the "dumbing down" of discourse in our wartime society and the lack of historical perspective in American media and public conversation.
I continue to look for ways to use my professional and personal energies to make a difference in my home country, even while living abroad.
