All voting members of the caucus are eligible to serve on the Advisory Committee in any role and are also eligible to vote in caucus elections. Voting members are those who have signed up as caucus members and presented at the ASA or attended the DH Caucus meeting at least once in the past 3 years (2022, 2021, or 2020). We recognize that precarious labor is a major issue for American Studies and particularly DH. As result, those who help with projects (either as a part of the DH Caucus or were presented at the ASA), but could not necessarily attend the ASA in person, will also be considered voting members.
