Hello, historians! We are thrilled to announce that the Society for U.S. Intellectual History has formally joined the distinguished ranks of the American Historical Association’s affiliated societies. We look forward to working closely with our colleagues to share scholarship, make new connections, support initiatives, and much more soon! Please take a moment to read this note from Lauren Lassabe, who has kindly agreed to lend her talents and her time in serving as our USIH-AHA Affiliate representative. Lauren writes:
“Hi, USIH friends. I am excited to serve as this year’s AHA affiliate. In the coming weeks, I look forward to connecting you to opportunities in AHA and associated groups, helping you organize panels for AHA, and assisting you with pieces for Perspectives on History to showcase your USIH work.
I research and teach about higher education at the University of New Orleans. My research examines how conservative forces have historically shaped the academy (which I’ve written about here, here, and in my forthcoming book, Resistance from the Right: Conservatives and the Campus Wars). If you’d like to connect or keep up with my research, check out my webpage. And if you’re going to AHA next month, let me know on Twitter at @llassabe.”

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.
This is really fantastic news. This affiliation has been in the works for a long time and the Society will benefit so much from this close working connection. Kudos to everyone who has worked hard over the years to make this happen.
Huzzah, and thank you for your support, L.D. and all!
