Colleagues: It’s been awhile since we’ve advertised this, but we do have a Facebook group. Please consider joining. It’s an alternate way to communicate with USIH regulars (posters and commentators), and the blogging team distributes select links there as a convenience. – TL

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.
Thanks for the reminder, Tim! We should really update the group (can you do that on Facebook?) and specifically attach it to S-USIH.
Well, it turns out that the group is scheduled to be “archived” (i.e. shut down) by Facebook since it was made in the old group format. We’ll need to restart the group anyway. I’m going to suggest to Ray Haberski (S-USIH’s Secretary) that he recreate the group as the S-USIH Facebook page.
Keep watching this space (well not this space, but the USIH blog) for a future post asking all of you who joined our old FB group to join our new one!
Actually, if we start using the page a bit more, we should receive an upgrade option from FB. If you follow the “learn more” link at the top of the group’s page, you see the following message:
“If your old group has enough recent activity to make it a good candidate for a new group, you will see a message at the top of the group with the option to upgrade. Members of the group will see the option to ask the admin to upgrade. If you are an admin, click “Upgrade This Group” to upgrade to the new groups format. Note that it may take a few minutes or more before the content from your group is converted to the new format.” – TL
