I was traveling this last week so I figure I should make an official #introduction now. I’m an #historian and #philosopher of the Human Sciences. In terms of my geographic focus, I work half on East Asia (esp. #Japan) and half on Europe (especially France and Germany).

They attached a list of subjects to cover, including community leadership, eldercare, and household budget (planning).
Welcome to the new of wave of #historians / #histodons joining! I have set up an #IntellectualHistory group for anyone interested: @intellectualhistory
If you are an intellectual historian or historian of thought, political, religious, or otherwise, or interested at all, I strongly suggest you follow the group & tag the group in your intro & relevant posts. The group is designed to automatically post tagged posts to members.
There is a general group @histodons - recommend!
