Today:
Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Sunday Digest (formerly the Day of Reflection). Nobody can read all the questions and answers that are posted here, so in this thread we invite you to share anything you'd like to highlight from the last week - an interesting discussion, an informative answer, an insightful question that was overlooked, or anything else.
We’ve got a special action packed Digest for you today folks! Especially because yesterday was the 10th Birthday for the sub!!! Woo for us! As per our usual, we’ve collected a fantastic selection of threads on hundreds of different topics. Don’t forget to show some love to the hard working contributors, drop some thanks and upvotes, and let us know your favorite threads! Feel free to post the ones you liked as well!
Don’t forget you can sign up for the AskHistorians 2021 Conference newsletter!
/u/EnclavedMicrostate had a fantastic Monday Methods: The 'New Qing' Turn and Decentering Chinese History | Also, Reddit Talk Announcement.
There was a crosspost on Reddit's unwillingness to properly contain COVID-19 misinformation is part of a broad trend of inadequate action by the Admins against bad faith actors. We stand with our fellow mod teams in calling on reddit to improve.
It was a quiet Thursday Reading and Recommendations thread.
Also a fairly quiet Friday Free for All.
That wraps up our special birthday digest. Don’t forget to mark your calendars for the conference coming this October, you can sign up for the newsletter to stay informed, and we’ll see you all next week!
The digest is also a chance to show some love for the interesting, yet overlooked questions we get each week. Feel free to post your own as well and those that caught your eye, and maybe a wandering expert will take interest!
