 Happy to pass this along:

The March Academe newsletter includes four early-release articles from our forthcoming spring issue, which will reconsider the AAUP’s history through a racial-equity lens. This spring issue preview also includes new book reviews, a profile of the University of Pennsylvania AAUP chapter, a selection of recent posts from the Academe Blog, and congressional testimony by a former AAUP president that was originally published in the AAUP Bulletin in 1962. The full issue will be published in May.
