The Graduate History Society is is an official University of Iowa student organization which represents all graduate students in the history department. I’m one of its officers for the 2012-13 academic year, and have helped to update our web presence a little bit.<\/p>\n
We have a fresh new website, at GHS.<\/a> We’re also now Tweeting regularly @GHSUIowa<\/a> and updating with news about lectures, colloquia and other events at our new\u00a0Facebook page.<\/a> All our welcome to follow us on both sites\u2014we hope they will become great new ways of connecting Iowa with the wider (scholarly) community.<\/p>\n I’ve also made my first blog post at the HASTAC site<\/a>. This one is just an introductory post, but hopefully soon I and the other HASTAC scholars from the University of Iowa, Audrey Altman<\/a> and Craig Carey<\/a>, will be updating with more information about the projects which we hope to work on throughout our scholarship year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Graduate History Society is is an official University of Iowa student organization which represents all graduate students in the history department.
