[We have the following announcement from our colleague-in-the-discipline Victoria Woeste.]
As of August 31, 2019, I have left my position as Research Professor at
the American Bar Foundation. I was
fortunate to spend twenty-five years in residence at the ABF, where I
benefitted from and (I hope) contributed to the sprightly, convivial, and
substantive intellectual community there. While at the ABF I wrote two books,
edited a third, and wrote scores of articles on a variety of subjects. I am currently engaged in advanced work on
three new projects and another edited collection of essays in legal
history. I intend to continue to pursue
my calling as a legal historian by working as an independent scholar, while
retaining a connection to the ABF through the role of Affiliated Research
Professor. In the next few years, I intend
to bring to a full and successful conclusion my current projects on civil
rights, hate speech, religion, antisemitic propaganda, and the corporatization
of modern American farm ownership. I am
and will always be eternally grateful to my colleagues at the ABF, past and
present, for their unflagging support of my work and my career, and I look
forward to future collaborations and exchanges in the academic world. Please find me at vswoeste@icloud.com or vwoeste@gmail.com.
