Greetings ESA Members,
The ESA is getting ready to prepare its spring 2000 Newsletter. We request that ALL members email us (redekert@msu.edu) their updated information immediately (name, address, affiliation, discipline) even if you think we already have it. Also, we'd like to ask members to send any or all of the following information:
--updates on your recent research and other activities pertaining to Eritrean studies
--recent publications on Eritrea (yours or others you have come across, in any language)
--information about events that have taken place in Eritrean communities around the world
If you have not yet renewed your membership for 2000, we suggest you do so right away so that you will be included in the newsletter and its distribution. The new ESA treasury mailing address is PO Box 2731, Glen Allen, VA 23058-2731.
Also, the ESA officers have recently been discussing whether or not to make the newsletter web-based, that is, accessible only over the Internet and protected by a password for members, then later archived and available to all. We would like members' opinions on making the newsletter web-based only. This means you would not receive a paper copy in the mail and you would access the newsletter over the Net. Please email Ghidewon Abay-Asmerom (ghidewon@vcu.edu), Trish Redeker Hepner (redekert@msu.edu), or Roy Pateman (rpateman@polisci.ucla.edu) with your opinions on this.
This is your newsletter, so please take an active part in it!!
