A group of current and past EAA members and action groups are calling for a (first) Counter Conference open online meeting for all of you to join to get information, voice your concerns and discuss next steps (date TBA).
The EAA votes are out
The great majority of our archaeological community has voted in favour of the petitions raised by #concernedEAA. We asked for a democratic process, we asked for accountability, and for the need to acknowledge the horrific genocidal policy of Israel against Gaza.
The executive board wants to install a task force to discuss results, and the President and Secretary have announced to step down only after the Annual Meeting in Athens. Nothing has been said about Gaza. These responses are not sufficient.
