Happy New Year! Below are my favorite posts from 2012, one from each of our regular contributors. These choices no doubt express my idiosyncrasies. So by all means recommend other 2012 posts, by regular or guest bloggers. Here’s to an excellent 2013 at the U.S. Intellectual History Blog! Cheers. AH
Ben Alpers, “Has Intellectual History Had a Kuhnian Revolution?”
Lauren Kientz Anderson, “Teaching W.E.B. DuBois’ The Souls of Black Folk”
L.D. Burnett, “The Sensibility of Historians”
Ray Haberski, “Friendship and the Intellectual”
Andrew Hartman, “The Enlightenment and Protestant Thought; Or, Reading Frances Schaeffer through David Hollinger”
Tim Lacy, “The Plastic Nietzsche, Part VII” (I post the final part because it includes links to the previous six parts of this excellent series.)
Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn, “Inarticulate By Choice, Part Seven” (I also link to the last part but encourage you to read the whole series.)
6 Thoughts on this Post
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.
Side note: One of the reasons I so look forward to finishing my book in 2013 is so I will have time to write 7-part blog series!
They’re not as glamorous as they seem from the outside looking in. That said, having just completed a book mss, you’ll be in the correct mindset to bring it off without repeating yourself too much. 🙂
Kurt Newman’s Marxist historiography deserves mention!
