It’s been a busy year for Process.
Over the past twelve months, we’ve published about 170 posts. We’ve relaunched our blog with a new design, introduced theme months, and started a new Facebook and Twitter feed. We hosted a Reddit AMA on Roots and American Slavery. We published a five-part series on Henry Kissinger and historians, a four-part series on George Kennan and emotions, a three-part round table on teaching historiography, as well as a three-part round table on prisoners’ rights. The 2016 election kept us busy, with posts on topics such as the loose definition of “populism,” on Donald Trump’s rhetoric of “law and order,” on the election’s political ads, and on neoliberalism and the Democratic party.
The ten most popular posts on Process in 2016 were:
