Hello SIGCIS! First off, if you weren't at our virtual conference last weekend, you may not have heard the news that Morgan Ames has joined me as co-chair of SIGCIS! I offer my thanks to Melanie Swalwell for her years of service leading us and welcome Morgan to the helm! We now have information on the SIGCIS lunch at SHOT next week. The biggest thing to note is that the lunch is Saturday (not Friday), October 11. We'll meet from 12:55–2:10 PM. The program posted today says it's in the "Catering Area" so hopefully that makes sense when we get there. Please register for lunch as part of your SHOT registration. I hope to see many of you in Luxembourg! Best, Liz _________________ Elizabeth Petrick Associate Professor Director of Graduate Studies Department of History Rice University
