This week, ending in March 16 2017:
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.
Seriously, how much does dissertation writing suck?
From "I wish I could" to "terrified about starting" to "man, this full professorship is a rough gig," please use this space to complain about your current level of academia.
