Knitting Clio really does knit, doesn’t feel guilty
My colleague Aimee wrote a great post on creativity and academic work at ProfHacker.com. This reminded me of a book I read about ten years ago called The Artist’s Way by Julie Cameron.

I sent a shorter version of this post to the editor of New York Times Magazine, and they published it this past Sunday.

I’m a bit slow in getting around to writing about this, but last month the University of Michigan Press announced that it would shift it’s emphasis towards digital publishing, at least for monographs.
I’m not as alarmed by this as some (after all, I teach digital history), but am concerned about what will happen to the [...]
Back Up Your Birth Control Blogging, One Day Late
As usual, I’m a day late in blogging, but I’ll just blame it on the fact that I was exhausted from my trip to Bethesda for my talk at the NLM!
So, better late than never — yesterday was the Back Up Your Birth Control Day of Action sponsored by the National Institute for Reproductive Health. [...]
Good News, Bad news, and a shameless plug
Recent issues of the Chronicle of Higher Education have reported good news and bad news in college health. The good news: it looks like the new spending bill will lower the cost of contraceptives at campus health centers. The bad news is that while demand for mental health services has increased, college counseling centers remainded [...]
