The Society for U.S. Intellectual History (S-USIH) was founded in 2007 and has grown over the past decade from a blog to an established academic organization that hosts an annual conference. S-USIH continues to operate a diverse and frequently updated blog that may appeal broadly to readers interested in ideas, history, and current events. For example, as of this write-up, a recent series of six blog posts consider and evaluate historian David M. Potter's posthumously published 1976 book The Impending Crisis, which examines causes of the U.S. Civil War. Another recent blog post, authored by historian William S. Cosson, provides an analysis of the role that solar eclipses have played in history. Visitors can explore previous blog posts by topic or author. Visitors may also be interested in the New Books Network (NBN) Podcast, produced by the NBN and S-USIH. This podcast, which can be found via the Resources page, features interviews with the authors of recently published books addressing intellectual history.
