(I so wish I had photos of my research subjects...)<BR/><BR/>Your post is interesting, as was Ralph Luker's recent response. Like What Now? points out, it is hard to write pseudonymously and talk about my research (and therefore history) more specifically. Obviously people know I'm a medievalist, so that's not an issue, but there's still a lot that I could "give away" if I got more specific. If I talk about medieval history in general as it comes up in my classes, for instance, I worry about students finding me; if I talk about my own research, well, other researchers might find me, and that's scary. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Collin Brooke at Collin vs. Blog had an interesting post recently about being willing to put your money where your mouth is, so to speak, and that he talks about the importance of networks of information, yet jealously guards his partially-formed ideas, in a way inconsistent with what he actually researches. It has a different resonance when you're talking about comp/rhet than history, but still very interesting.<BR/><BR/>I should add, too, that I've never been very good at talking much about my work during the writing process - something which was a problem with my advisor, in fact! Somehow I manage to respond to other people's posts on these subjects much more than posting about it myself. Hmmm.

I agree with the comment by "what now?" and lament the fact that we must be ambiguous and vague in our postings. My blog deals in large part with teaching and graduate school, but you've inspired me to incorporate more history into my posts.

I ...Trillwing, thanks for such an interesting post! I have often thought that one of the things we sacrifice in having pseudonymous blogs is the ability to write more specifically about our work. So we wind up writing about pedagogy and service -- things we presumably all share, and stories about which can be fairly generic -- and we avoid those things that make us distinctive. Thanks for breaking that trend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18155604.post-1156409518092013962006-08-24T02:51:00.000-06:002006-08-24T02:51:00.000-06:00There are at least a few very good female history ...There are at least a few very good female history bloggers out there, many of them affiliated with <A HREF="http://hnn.us/blogs/2.html" REL="nofollow">Cliopatria</A> and its neighbor blog <A HREF="http://hnn.us/blogs/56.html" REL="nofollow">Revise and Dissent</A>. Aside from the bloggers who are members (even if they don't post there often), I'd highly recommend <A HREF="http://blogenspiel.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Another Damned Medievalist</A>'s blogroll, and I'd be happy to pick a few out of <A HREF="http://hnn.us/blogs/entries/9665.html" REL="nofollow">Cliopatria blogroll</A> if they're not obvious.Jonathan Dresnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04356112719229675996noreply@blogger.com
