Revise and Dissent

5 September 2007 by sage

The semester is just starting, I’ve found a time my whole dissertation committee can meet for the prospectus defense (which means Yale will now let me enroll, hopefully), and it’s my birthday. After a couple great discussions with committee members, I’m excited about my dissertation project; I’ll share more about that when I get the chance.

More importantly, I’ve been invited to join the History News Network group blog Revise and Dissent. Here’s my first post: “What are historians good for?

Possibly related posts:
