Blog news

A variety of events kept me away from blogging two weeks ago and this past week I just wasn't feeling the writing mojo, so forgive the long hiatus. Fresh content is coming up shortly.

I've also asked my friend and fellow historian Chris Loomis to join me in writing the blog. Chris and I share an interest in the history of citizenship and civic engagement but he comes at it from a focus on media, so he'll provide a fresh perspective. He'll also provide damn good writing, which is the more important thing. I'll leave it to him to introduce himself further.
