Writers needed...

Charlene and I were invited by Cinnamon Stillwell to meet last night with some of the 9/11 NeoCons, a local group of bloggers and conservatives. I happened to sit next to Ed Driscoll, who you've probably read. They are having a West Coast blog Fest August 18, which we will probably have to miss.

Cinnamon, by the way, is in need of writers for one of her projects. She's doing the West Coast coverage of CampusWatch...

Mission Statement
Campus Watch, a project of the Middle East Forum, reviews and critiques Middle East studies in North America, with an aim to improving them. The project mainly addresses five problems: analytical failures, the mixing of politics with scholarship, intolerance of alternative views, apologetics, and the abuse of power over students. Campus Watch fully respects the freedom of speech of those it debates while insisting on its own freedom to comment on their words and deeds...

Campus Watch, a project of the Middle East Forum, reviews and critiques Middle East studies in North America with an aim to improving them. Campus Watch is currently looking for writers to do paid pieces focusing on California and Western State colleges and universities. Articles should be 750-850 words, research-based and concentrated solely on Middle East studies academia. If interested, please contact Campus Watch Northern California Representative Cinnamon Stillwell at stillwell--AT--meforum.org.
