Blogging Historians




In"Were There Blog Enough and Time," I tried to make the case for history blogging. One of the things that we know about it is that history blogging has predominantly been an activity of younger historians. With the launching of POTUS as a new group blog, however, I think that more senior historians have begun to take up the challenge.

Here's a list of over two dozen tenured associate and full professors of history who are blogging. If you know others, please mention them in comments.**

Jonathan Bean, Southern Illinois University, Liberty & Power
David Beito, University of Alabama, Liberty & Power
Timothy Burke, Swarthmore, Easily Distracted
Juan Cole, University of Michigan, Informed Comment
Stephen Davies, Manchester Metropolitan University, Liberty & Power Sherman Dorn, University of South Florida, Sherman Dorn

Mark Grimsley, Ohio State, Blog Them Out of the Stone Age

Joan Hoff, Montana State University, POTUS
KC Johnson, Brooklyn College, Cliopatria

**At least one of my colleagues at Cliopatria may have been recently tenured and promoted to associate professor. I don't mean to ignore you. Just let me know and I'll add your name to the list.

In addition to these, there are history bloggers who may be tenured as associate or full professors, but who choose to blog pseudonymously.
