U.S. Intellectual History Blog

From the Editors

We have been pleased and honored to host the outstanding roundtable on Leo Ribuffo’s Old Christian Right.  Thank you to Andrew Hartman and the other conference roundtable participants for sharing their writing – and Leo’s – with our readers.

We have a number of roundtables scheduled for January and February, and we are now working on our March roundtable schedule.

For now, mark these dates on your calendars:

January 1-5: Roundtable on Lilian Calles Barger’s The World Come of Age: An Intellectual History of Liberation Theology

January 14-18:  Author interview & book salon on Keisha N. Blain’s Set the World on Fire: Black Nationalist Women and the Global Struggle for Freedom

 February 18-22: Roundtable on New Perspectives on the Black Intellectual Tradition, edited by Keisha N. Blain, Christopher Cameron, and Ashley D. Farmer

If you have an idea for a roundtable or a “themed week” of blog posts – noting a significant historical anniversary or discussing a key work in American intellectual history, broadly construed, or something else altogether — feel free to contact any of our bloggers (bios in sidebar) or one of our editors:  Lora Burnett (Editor), Sara Georgini (Assistant Editor), or Andrew Seal (Assistant Editor).

We are always glad for reader suggestions, and especially glad for volunteer authors.

Please see our FAQ for guest posts here.

Since one of the distinguishing characteristics of this blog is the substantive and thoughtful exchange that happens in the comments following a post, our guest authors or roundtable contributor should make time to respond to any comments on their posts and help us in the work of sustaining robust discussion and expanding the reach of our dialogue to include new participants and new avenues of inquiry.

We look forward to hosting many fruitful conversations with both long-time readers and newcomers to this virtual gathering space and to this vital field of thought and research.  Thank you for being part of our community of inquirers here.
