Cliopatria Revised & Dissented

Three years ago, Cliopatria helped to launch a new blog at History News Network, Revise and Dissent. It featured some of the younger stars in the history blogosphere and has been a fascinating read, because its group members were on the cutting edge of diverse approaches to history. In recent months, however, R & D's audience declined and a decision made to close it. R & D's remaining active members have agreed to join our group at Cliopatria. That decision is altogether our gain, because each of them is already a well known figure in the history blogosphere.

Sterling Fluharty is an advanced doctoral student at the University of Oklahoma, who currently teaches at the University of New Mexico and New Mexico State University. His special interests are in Native American and digital history. At PhDinHistory, Sterling has made a significant reputation for his probing inquiries into the direction of graduate education in history.

Brett Holman has recently submitted his doctoral dissertation to Australia's School of Historical Studies at the University of Melbourne. If you've followed his blog, Airminded, you'll know that it is a record of his notes on the dissertation's subject, Airpower and British Society, 1908-1941. Brett also has significant interests in physics and the history of science.

Sage Ross is an advanced graduate student in the History of Medicine and Science Program at Yale. A native of Oklahoma, he earned an undergraduate degree in chemistry in preparation for his doctoral studies. Sage blogs at Ragesoss 2.02, has a substantial interest in wikipedia's history of science offerings, and is writing a dissertation on the history of molecular evolution.

It is a pleasure to welcome Sterling Fluharty, Brett Holman, and Sage Ross to our circle at Cliopatria.
