Cliopatria & Friends

I mentioned that The Cliopatria Award winners were announced at our 5th Annual Banquet at the AHA convention in Washington. Thanks to the hospitality of Scott McLemee and Scott Jaschik of Inside Higher Ed at a good Lebanese restaurant. Here, we are caught in the act:

Around the table clockwise from the far left: Ralph Luker, Manan Ahmed, Claire Potter, Juan Cole, Jeremy Young, Scott McLemee, Roger Bowen, Scott Jaschik, and Rob MacDougall. Damn! Manan makes me look pink! That, plus being on the far left seriously compromises my Republican creds.

As we were about to make our escape, Jonathan Dresner caught a line-up of suspects:

Front row, l to r: Jonathan Dresner and Manan Ahmed. Back row: Ralph Luker, Juan Cole, Scott McLemee, Claire Potter, Rob MacDougall, Jeremy Young, Roger Bowen, and Scott Jaschik. Thanks to Jon for the photography and IHE for the good meal!
