Updates, reflections, and a few new articlesNovember 24, 2015 by Andrew LebovichThis post will be part personal update, part promotional entry, and part reflection on the past few years and resurrecting a dormant blog. I’ve stayed active (too active) on Twitter, but while I’ve continued to occasionally write articles and short essays, much of my attention has been focused on my academic work. While this is a busy time, it’s also a good one for me to reflect a bit on the relationship between academic work and more contemporary research. It can also be difficult to find time for this work when academic programs and job markets do not generally reward things like blog posts, articles, and media appearances. My goal is to stay engaged in current debates while also using my historical research and training in different ways.
