For several years, I had a blog entitled "Thoughts of a Young Historian." However, I am no longer a striving historian, nor would I consider myself particularly young. Therefore, I feel the old blog is no longer representative of who I am as an academic, as a blogger, and as a person. That is why I have started this new one.

In this blog I hope to discuss current events from an academic background. That is bringing in sociological and historical perspectives to contemplate not only the current events themselves, but also how we reached those events. What led up to them, historically? And then analyze the responses that we as a society have towards those events.

I hope that you will join in the discussion with me.
