Our hearty congratulations go to David Sehat, whose book The Myth of American Religious Freedom has been honored with the 2012 Frederick Jackson Turner Award.
Last spring the USIH blog hosted a roundtable about David's book, with contributions from Daniel K. Williams, Andrew Hartman, Raymond J. Haberski, and Christopher Hickman.
A former blogger for USIH, David currently serves as the Chairman of the S-USIH 2012 Conference Committee. Please come to New York this November and offer him your congratulations in person.
We are delighted that David's work has been honored with this prestigious award.

"We'd like to thank the Academy..."
The awards were announced at the AHA on Thursday. You can read about all of 2010's winners here. The citation for USIH reads as follows:
This well-staffed blog features frequent substantial discussions of books and issues including literature, law, culture, religion, politics and theory. Wide-ranging and widely respected, US Intellectual History is a powerful nexus of discussion and organization within the field and a bridge between American intellectual historians, broadly defined, and the rest of the profession.
Before the HNN Orchestra plays me off, I'd like to briefly thank Cliopatria's Ralph Luker, for organizing the awards, as well as this year's judges: Joseph Adelman, Aaron Bady, Edward Cavanagh, Jonathan Dresner, Rick Herrera, Lucy Inglis, Ian Lekus, Andrew Seal, and David Silbey. We (I think I can speak for USIH collectively on this) are truly honored to have been chosen by you for this award.
I'd also like to thank my fellow bloggers for all of your hard work, fascinating insights, and lively discussions.
Finally, I especially want to congratulate this blog's founding editors (many of whom are still around, but some of whom aren't): Paul Anderson, Andrew Hartman, Tim Lacy, Paul Murphy, Mike O'Connor, Joe Petrulionis, Sylwester Ratowt, and John Thomas Scott.* Thanks for creating USIH!
USIH--as a blog and an organization-coming-into-being (there's probably a good German word for that)--enters 2011 with a real head of steam. Let's keep it up!

I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm not 100% sure who was around in January 2007, when this blog opened for business. I came on board in November 2008. Incidentally, there are no Internet Archive entries for USIH after 2007, which is too bad. Can something be done about that for the future?

Fellowship Announcement: Harvard's Charles Warren Center
Harvard University’s Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History invites applications for its 2011-12 fellowship and workshop on “The Politics of Knowledge in Universities and the State.”
We aim to convene a multidisciplinary group of intellectual and cultural historians, historians of higher education and the natural and human sciences, sociologists of knowledge, scholars from science and technology studies, students of American political development and political theory, and others in relevant fields. The workshop will explore the intersection of knowledge production with political thought and practice, focusing on key institutional sites in higher education and government. How has the authority, and possibly the content, of knowledge been shaped by political contexts? How have intellectuals engaged with the state and what have been the consequences for policy and knowledge production? How have university and state politics intersected? Are “knowledge” and “politics” distinct, or are interpretive frameworks such as “construction,” “co-production,” or “power/knowledge” more appropriate? Participants will have the opportunity to think systematically about the situated nature of their own work. Comparative and transnational proposals that depart from North American developments are welcomed.
Fellows will participate in a seminar led by Andrew Jewett (History) and Julie Reuben (Education).
Applicants may not be degree candidates and should have a Ph.D. or equivalent. Fellows have library privileges and receive a private office which they must use for at least the nine-month academic year. Stipends are individually determined according to fellow needs and Center resources. The Center encourages applications, otherwise consistent with the Workshop theme, relating to the nation’s life during and as a consequence of wars, and from qualified applicants who can contribute, through their research and service, to the diversity and excellence of the Harvard community.
Application (at warrencenter.fas.harvard.edu) due January 15, 2011; decisions in early March.
