Marianne & I are deeply grateful to the good people of The Pipeline for giving us space to voice our views over what has been happening behind the scenes at the EAA. Please do give it a watch/listen and share widely - we feel it's important as many people as possible know the full story 🙏🏼

So, sorry but not enough… my boycott stands. Because even with the current actions, there will be no actual consequences to the damage made, nor reparations for those who suffered this most. NOT EVEN AN APOLOGY (even a fake one).

The announced plans to address the results of the vote kick the ball down the road of an undetermined timeline and a vaguely defined taskforce. Shouldn’t the voices of a majority of members be taken into account promptly, and in any case prior to the Athens meeting?

Important thread from Jaime about why it is critical to vote in this round of per rollam voting. We deserve an EAA that is fit for us--its members--and the challenging world in which we all live

This thread from jaime lays out the stakes well for those of us grappling with the present and possible futures of the EAA

Following yesterday's EAA Special Meeting, I have submitted a complaint to the EAA Appeal and Anti-Harassment Committee. I post it here, with names redacted, for any members who were not present. Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out with messages of solidarity and support 🙏💓🙏

In spite of the Safe Space Policy being clearly stated at the beginning of the meeting, Prof. XXXXX targeted me by name, calling for my resignation from my position as Editor of the society's journal. Furthermore, his misuse of my title, referring to me as "Miss Kamash", felt deliberately demeaning. This intimidating behaviour explicitly contravenes the EAA Safe Space Policy. Although he was muted, for which I was grateful, I experienced a panic attack following his comments and did not feel safe to speak for the remainder of the meeting. This was further compounded by not only Prof. XXXXX being allowed to remain in the online meeting, but also being invited to take the floor again after the break. This gives me strong concerns about the effectiveness of the Safe Space Policy.

On a broader point about the effectiveness of the Safe Space Policy, I also note that members whose position aligned with that of Concerned EAA were repeatedly and persistently accused of anti-Semitism throughout the meeting. This is a serious accusation that should not be levelled without due care and evidentiary support. Its use as a blanket accusation seems to have been designed with the explicit aim of silencing and intimidating members aligned with Concerned EAA, which again contravenes the Safe Space Policy and should have been dealt with more robustly during the meeting.
