I'm not an ISAS member specifically, but I am a fellow medievalist—one who routinely teaches Old English texts and understands the literature of medieval Britain and Ireland to be a cohesive whole. What affects my colleagues specializing in Old English affects me, and I urge ISAS leadership and members to listen to these suggestions.

Not an ISAS member, but I certainly support this anti-racist, anti-sexual-harassment agenda — in this organization and in medieval studies more widely.

ISAS member, with increasing chagrin. Signing in support of, and solidarity with, Dr. Mary Rambaran-Olm; and to undersign substantive change w.r.t. sexual harassment, racism, and governance in the organization.

Not an ISAS member but signing in solidarity, as a medievalist who wants to see our field tackle racism and harassment.

Longstanding ISAS member, signing in support of and in gratitude to Mary Rambaran-Olm and her hard work for the society. And signing for support of substantive change in the society.

I'm not an ISAS member, but signing in solidarity. We need to confront the racist origins/appropriations of our field. And, known abusers should be ejected immediately from all societies and positions of authority/power.
