Hi allI think this is really important and should be part of our next meeting agenda,not only in relation to the next DH conference but also to the risks students and researchers (and human beings!) might suffer due to these policies (even though they are finally not put in practice).Some small but representative text translated to as many languages as we can could be a good start.BestGimenaSent with Mailtrack

If you don't feel comfortable posting to a list, please feel free to contact me directly at rrisam@gmail.com and I'll make sure they are passed along to the exec.Thanks for this, Ernesto. A lot of us in the US (and, I don't doubt, around the world) have been despondent about the events of the last 48 hours.I can put this on the agenda of the next executive meeting, which will take place in the next week or two. While I do think we're the right SIG to take a stand, I'm also cognizant of the fact that we have general membership and executive committee members working around the world in a lot precarious immigration statuses, so their safety must be our main priority. So, I'd like to feel out the exec on this.On Sun, Jan 29, 2017 at 11:35 AM, Ernesto Priego <efpriego@gmail.com> wrote:_______________________________________________I am aware that the next DH conferences won't take place in the US. Regardless of that fact, I would urge colleagues much more directly embedded in the operational matters of the ADHO/ACH and this particular SIG to take a public stand.Members of professional associations are contacting their scholarly bodies to request a recognition of their members' opposition to these orders.Already educational institutions (such as the University of Michigan) and international academics around the world have expressed publicly their rejection of these orders. Many colleagues are considering boycotting academic conferences in the US if the so-called 'Muslim ban' is still in place.The documents can be found atDear all,With sincere apologies if this has already been discussed within this list and I have missed it.
Many of us around the world are deeply concerned about the Executive Orders concerning immigration into the US and 'Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States' recently signed by the new US administration.

They have consequences beyond the United States.I'd like to take this opportunity to express my solidarity with colleagues within and outside the US.Best regards,ErnestoDr Ernesto Priego
