We’re very pleased to announce that Rebecca Brenner will be joining our roster here as a regular blogger.
Rebecca is a PhD student at American University, working with Gautham Rao. She has a M.A. in public history, and has worked on a number of museum exhibits and oral history projects. She is particularly interested in the role of myth and notions of civil religion in American history, particularly among the Founders.
Those of you who attended the 2017 or 2018 conference will recognize Rebecca as the cheerful and unflappable Secretary of the society, present at the registration desk to assist members with on-site registration.
Rebecca wrote a series of guest posts for us earlier this year, and she will be blogging for us once a month. We’re delighted to have her join our blog crew.
Please join me in welcoming Rebecca Brenner to the S-USIH blog.
One Thought 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.
Welcome Rebecca. Looking forward to your posts.
