This week, ending in January 01 2015:
Today's thread is for open discussion of:
History in the academy
Historiographical disputes, debates and rivalries
Implications of historical theory both abstractly and in application
Philosophy of history
And so on
Regular participants in the Thursday threads should just keep doing what they've been doing; newcomers should take notice that this thread is meant for open discussion only of matters like those above, not just anything you like -- we'll have a thread on Friday for that, as usual.
Currently in Korea on a Fulbright grant.
I'm going to be assisting in some research on Korean Bronze Age artifacts. I've never done any kind of archaeology stuff before so this is going to be interesting.
Is there anything I should know about academic archaeology?? I'd love to hear from some experts around here.
Either way, I'm excited to be helping out with some honest research.
Hope this is the right place to post this!
