Nikkie Keddie, on the Muslim Middle East; Kathleen Neils Conzon on urban & local US history; and Hazel Whitman Hertzberg on the teaching of history, generally speaking. Keddie had been present at the 1975 luncheon and, I believe, also signed the petition. The list of those in attendance, from my files, has been preserved in the IFRWH archives at the IIAV (International Archive for the Women's Movement, now known as Aletta) in Amsterdam.
