Email / Mastodon / Bluesky / Micro.blog

I am an independent historian who earns his living by editing, translating, and teaching. Most of the editing and translating has been for academics in history and related fields in the humanities and social sciences.

I was long based in Washington, DC, but caregiving responsibilities have me mainly in Conway, NH, nowadays. Fortunately, I have an excellent internet connection.

My blog blends the personal and professional. Over the years, I’ve tried separating these things on various web platforms, but I’ve found that such an approach doesn’t work very well for me. I’ve worn a variety of hats, and each professional activity has reinforced the other, just as the personal has long informed the professional. I invite you to read testimonials I’ve received to see how.

As a consequence of corporate social media’s entshittification, I now follow an IndieWeb approach to my posting. Instead of originating short posts or threads on one of the big platforms, I post everything here on my blog and then also share the content of such posts elsewhere. Currently that is Mastodon and Bluesky because they are neither siloed nor manipulated by an opaque algorithm controlled by a capricious billionaire.
