Big News…
As I’ve written before, I’ve been rather deliberately avoiding writing about many of the biggest things occupying my mind over the past few months. Finally, however, I’m at a point where I can start thinking out loud again: the semester’s drawing to a close, my travel plans for the summer are set, and my dissertation is no longer crowding out all other urges to write from my being.
Also, I’ve accepted a job.
For the next few years, I’ll be a Research Assistant Professor at George Mason University‘s Center for History and New Media. The job sounds fantastic: I’ll get to do history and develop/evangelize new tools for historians to use. I’ll miss being in the classroom (there’s no teaching involved, though I might have the option of doing so should I want to), but this seems to be the best possible thing for my career right now…there’ll be plenty more time for teaching down the road, I suspect. In the meantime – DC, here I come!
