Greetings S-USIH! I’m Katherine Jewell, the recently appointed new blog editor. You might also know me as the recent co-chair of S-USIH 2022 in Boston, with Ben Alpers. After taking the helm at the blog, I launched into conference planning, but we have been engaged in many discussions behind the scenes about our metadata at the blog.
We have…a lot of tags and categories! In consultation with publications chair Robert Greene, and with help from a content strategist, I’ve come up with a plan to help feature — and find (!) — all of the rich content produced in ten+ years of blogging at S-USIH. I am currently working on putting this plan into action, alongside some new ideas resources.
All of our content will remain on the blog, but you may see some changes to navigation as we implement this new system Since I’m a radio scholar, it seems right to say STAY TUNED for more announcements and some calls for content after the changes are complete! And if you have content to contribute, please reach out to me at [email protected].
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.
When I put up my post today, I noticed the new content categories, and I was absolutely THRILLED. This is amazing work. God bless the lumpers!
