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

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.!)

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/ …).
