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.
Gather round history fans for another fantastic, action packed edition of the Digest! The best collection of history threads crafted each week! There’s always a little something for everyone, so get comfortable, send some appreciation to those hard working contributors, check out the special features, and have fun!
I'm Dr. Nancy Reagin, author of "Re-Living the American Frontier: Western Fandoms, Reenactment, and Historical Hobbyists in Germany since 1900." Ask me anything about the history of literary fandoms and historical hobbyists! is happening TODAY with /u/DrNancyReagin.
Finally got a Tuesday Trivia with a number of posts! Tuesday Trivia: Emotions! This thread has relaxed standards—we invite everyone to participate!
Plus a pretty busy Thursday Reading and Rec thread.
Remind me bots and history mini series wishlisting, we’ve got lots of stuff in the Friday Free for All!
And a good META thread was General request to the mods, is there anyway we as users can recommend expansions in the sub Booklist for certain regions?
And thus I’m done for another week! January is almost done but we’ve got one more to go, so enjoy all the great post and I’ll see you again next Sunday!
Sunday is also a time when we can call out those interesting yet overlooked questions that caught our eye, but still hope to see an answer to. Feel free to add your own, or others you came across in your travels, and maybe we’ll get lucky!
/u/Ranger_Aragorn is taking it in strider, but still hoping for an answer to Prehistory is defined as before writing, but at least in the prehistoric Med. it seems like there's writing that we've translated in the Bronze Age, & even more by the Iron Age. Is there a form of writing that's used as the benchmark, or is there something else I'm missing?
/u/anthropology_nerd asked As the Eurodance philosopher Haddaway once asked... "What is love"?
/u/cyclemad asked What is the difference between the womens educational equity act (1974) and Title IX (1972)?
