Here we go...

Thanks, everyone, for a fun first meeting. Today's exercise was intended to get us thinking about challenges faced by public historians in various settings. During our next regular meeting, we'll delve deeper into the problem of definitions, think more broadly about what exactly public historians do, and try to make sense of the field's broader historical context.

Until then, be sure to:
1. Let me know if you can attend next Friday's meeting at Wagner.
2. Join H-Public.
3. Get your blog up and running--and let me know when you have.
4. Review important dates (assignments, discussion leadership, etc.) and let me know about any conflicts asap.
5. Explore the course dashboard.
5. Get a head start on readings for 9/14.

Good luck!
