[As of next week
my
sabbatical is officially done and I’m back to full-time teaching. So this
week I’ve shared some previews for my Spring 2020 classes, leading up to these
updates on book talks and projects. I’d love to hear what you’re up to as
well!]
Happy MLK
weekend! I’ve got a new Saturday
Evening Post Considering History
column coming up on Monday, so keep an eye out for that. In the meantime, two
quick updates on book projects:
1)
I’m excited to announce here that I’ve signed a
contract for my next book, which like We
the People will appear in Rowman &
Littlefield’s American Ways series. Tentatively titled My Country ‘Tis of Thee, this project will trace the history of
competing American patriotisms—celebratory, mythologizing, active, and
critical. Feels like a great complement to We
the People and like a particularly important topic to be writing about in
this crucial election year. Watch this space for more info!
2)
But We the
People continues to feel more and more relevant with every passing day, so
I’m excited that the book talks for that project will continue. Here’s
a current list of those upcoming talks, but as ever I’m open to any and all
suggestions and connections for other possibilities (including online spaces
where I can share the book). Thanks! (And if you aren’t able to get to a talk
in person, here’s a video
of December’s Boston Athenaeum talk!)
Next series
starts Monday,
Ben
PS. What’s on
your Spring 2020 horizon, and/or what are you working on?
