It gives me great pleasure to announce two new regular bloggers here at USIH: Peter Kuryla and Sara Georgini. Having both completed recent extended guest gigs (you can find Peter’s posts here and Sara’s here), they should be familiar to you, but let me reintroduce them.
Peter is Associate Professor of History at Belmont University, where he teaches courses in US intellectual and cultural history. He’s published on, among other things, Ralph Ellison, William and Henry James, and President Obama. He’s currently at work on a cultural and intellectual history of an “imagined civil rights movement.”
Sara is a Ph.D. candidate in American history at Boston University, and assistant editor of the Adams Papers at the Massachusetts Historical Society, an editorial project that has published nearly 50 scholarly editions of the personal and public papers written, accumulated, and preserved by President John Adams and his family. Her dissertation, “Household Gods: Creating Adams Family Religion, 1583-1927,” is a history of faith and doubt in one American family, charting the cosmopolitan Christianity that the Adamses developed while acting as transnational agents of American politics and culture. She is a founding contributor to The Junto: A Group Blog on Early American History.
Pete and Sara will be blogging on alternate Mondays, with Pete starting tomorrow and Sara starting on February 8. Please join me in welcoming them to the blog!

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.
Glad to have you both on board!
Huzzah! So looking forward to the coming posts.
Bravo, looking forward to your continuing presence.
Hooray! So happy to have you here, and looking forward to all your future posts!
