History of the Organization
A statement about the history of AARG is currently being written. If you would like to contribute your ideas for this important undertaking please contact Susan Pietrzyk at spietrz1@binghamton.edu.
In the meantime, AARG has been mentioned in various publications by members and beyond. Below is a list of references that discuss the founding of AARG and its important contributions. In most cases, the reference to AARG falls within a paragraph or two. The references are positive and their briefness is reasoned given the broader intent of the publication. Yet, the briefness also makes apparent the need to put in writing a richer discussion of AARG’s history.
