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.
Has anyone ever pointed out that S-USIH is an anagram of Sushi? Surely you could do something with that!
Jonathan: Indeed—Sushi has been our unofficial nickname for S-USIH. – TL
Oh, brother… 😉
LOL
I love sushi, both the food and the nickname. But there seems to be dissent. Should I put this on the agenda? 🙂
I updated this post to reflect a few minor tweaks to the agenda. The reports by the treasurer and the graduate student committee will be given 10 minutes apiece instead of 5. I cut the proposal to discuss a sliding scale for membership fees since the by-laws stipulate the $40 fee will remain in effect for at least 3 years. Cheers.
