Update

.

Where has the past seven months gone? I finished my comprehensive exam in February; then, BAM, it’s September. This post will be short and not so sweet, but it will give you an idea of where my life is heading and how I am trying to stay afloat.

First, I have a baby on the way—very exciting news. We do not know the gender, and said baby is due in a couple of weeks. Second, we’ve been dealing with an unexpected family tragedy over the past five months, which has come to a tragic end. This has taken a toll on my partner and her family and has preoccupied me (obviously). Lastly, I will begin writing again in the coming week and intend to write once a week. My next post will be about Digital History — a course I am teaching this semester — and I will consider what it means to practice digital history in academic and public spaces. So, stay tuned. Good luck to everyone and see you soon.
