2020 in Review! One peer reviewed journal article out in print, "Strategy and Cost: Carthaginian Naval Strategy in the First Punic War Reappraised," Historia 69.4 https://elibrary.steiner-verlag.de/article/10.25162/historia-2020-0020 … The next is in review, so we'll see where that goes in the new year! 1/8
The first full year for ACOUP (https://acoup.blog/ ) saw 53 new posts and a little over 1,900,000 views. ACOUP averaged c. 46,500 unique visitors a month. I know view-counting can seem crass, but can't do public engagement history if you don't engage some of the public! 2/8
I also placed three traditional media articles, two at @ForeignPolicy and one at @TheAtlantic :
https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/07/20/romans-violence-power-police-military/ …
https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/05/02/hard-times-dont-make-strong-soldiers-warrior-myth/ …
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/08/why-state-universities-have-no-other-choice-but-to-reopen/615565/ …
More of that to come in the New Year - drafting one piece right now, another is in editing. 3/8
I also gave talks in person on my research at SCS/AIA (abstract reposted here: https://acoup.blog/2020/01/02/miscellanea-scs-aia-conference-2020/ …), along with a job talk at The Citadel (sadly less fruitful, but it is a great dept.!) I also popped in digitally to the BLAH podcast: https://www.patreon.com/posts/blah-103-so-say-34033191 … 4/8
And my history-and-pop-culture blogging was also featured, mirabile dictu, in the London Times: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/echoes-of-the-somme-ring-in-tolkiens-wars-7mz39ml9s … 5/8
On ACOUP, I think my favorite essay of the year was The Practical Case on Why We Need the Humanities (https://acoup.blog/2020/07/03/collections-the-practical-case-on-why-we-need-the-humanities/ …). This year especially, with funding cuts and the job market deep freeze, I think humanistic disciplines of all stripes need to be rethinking... 6/8
...how we engage the public. It isn't enough for us to retreat into our academic monasteries. We must convince the broad public - inc. many who won't ever take our classes - the field has value, or else we are lost. "In any event, that is what we are going to try to do." 7/8
And that was 2020. I approach 2021, honestly, with high hopes, but low expectations - I think the wounds 2020 dealt to academia will be longer in healing than most seem to expect. But nowhere else to go but forward, so 2021, here we come! end/8
