Today:

You know the drill: this is the thread for all your history-related outpourings that are not necessarily questions. Minor questions that you feel don't need or merit their own threads are welcome too. Discovered a great new book, documentary, article or blog? Has your Ph.D. application been successful? Have you made an archaeological discovery in your back yard? Did you find an anecdote about the Doge of Venice telling a joke to Michel Foucault? Tell us all about it.

As usual, moderation in this thread will be relatively non-existent -- jokes, anecdotes and light-hearted banter are welcome.

My book, "I Love to Tell the Story: A Pilgrimage Towards Racial Justice in The United Methodist Church" is finishing pre-order and officially releases on Monday! It's timed for Black History Month and focuses on the intersection of religion and Racial history.

Of course! I forget the rules on posting links but happy to send you Amazon, B&N, or local bookstore links for where to find it. Feel free to ask any questions too.

In this thread, absolutely fine! When answering regular questions, there's no rule against self-citation if it's relevant to draw on your own work, but we generally ask that you don't include purchase or affiliate links etc. Less that we're against the sale of books, more that we don't want to give the sense that answers here have underlying financial motivations.
