Dear S-USIH peoples:
I have attended each and every one of the annual U.S. Intellectual History Conferences, since our humble beginnings four years ago in Grand Rapids. It’s the highlight of my academic calendar. I am incredibly excited for this year’s event next week (barring a weather apocalypse!) Part of what keeps me coming back year after year are the informal, post-conference conversations over beers. I invite you to join us, the S-USIH regulars, for beers and discussion on both Thursday and Friday nights after the plenary sessions.
As in year’s past, we will convene at Brendan’s Bar and Grill, just around the corner from the CUNY Graduate Center (42 west 35th Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues). It’s convenient, usually not too crowded, and a nice atmosphere. See you there!
Cheers. Andrew

S-USIH Comment Policy
We ask that those who participate in the discussions generated in the Comments section do so with the same decorum as they would in any other academic setting or context. Since the USIH bloggers write under our real names, we would prefer that our commenters also identify themselves by their real name. As our primary goal is to stimulate and engage in fruitful and productive discussion, ad hominem attacks (personal or professional), unnecessary insults, and/or mean-spiritedness have no place in the USIH Blog’s Comments section. Therefore, we reserve the right to remove any comments that contain any of the above and/or are not intended to further the discussion of the topic of the post. We welcome suggestions for corrections to any of our posts. As the official blog of the Society of US Intellectual History, we hope to foster a diverse community of scholars and readers who engage with one another in discussions of US intellectual history, broadly understood.
I can confirm Andrew’s assertion that this is (these are, rather) a highlight of the conference. Hence, it will be a great loss for me this year! 🙁
The best conference of any year! I am looking forward to hearing some great papers and round-tables, as well as catching up with everyone.
It’ll be good to see you again, Bryn. Glad you’re making it back.
