    2. participate in transparent and open scholarly practices;
    3. center research topics that “promote the development of interdisciplinary research on U.S. culture and history in a global context” (following ASA’s stated purpose);
    4. address these topics through anti-racist, feminist, community-led, or activist modes and methods.
