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
I apologise if others have already said it: the anxiety expressed in the Fremen mirage is perhaps about the decline of honor culture? The individuals and clans there certainly did their best to create the impression of being thin-skinned (or "warlike") badasses.
Perhaps "decline" isn't the right word because it carries a connotation that honor culture was better than what replaced it. "Development out of/away from"?
