It’s the season for year-end top ten lists.
Since the launch of Process in March, we’ve published over a hundred blog posts featuring some of the newest dissertations, books, films, articles, and podcasts in American history. We have published series on the U.S. carceral state, teaching history in the digital age, labor in academia, “Reacting to the Past,” and the OAH 2015 annual meeting. Events over the past year have also inspired posts on topics such as Ferguson, Charleston, the Canonization of Junípero Serra, and the Obergefell v. Hodges decision.
