Dear all, I just signed this petition which, in conjunction with the newly passed CARES act, aims at protecting the humanities during these difficult times. I hope that many of us will join this cause as this is one which appeals to all of us and our common objective in advancing academia which is in need of our vocal expression now more than ever. Please also keep well and stay safe!
