The Unwritten Rules of History
Co-authored with Krista McCracken
It’s everyone’s favourite time of the year again: Congress! In advance of this year’s CHA Annual Meeting in Vancouver, Krista and I thought that this would be a good time to talk about the practice of live-tweeting: what it is, how it works, and best practices. This blog post assumes that you have a basic familiarity with Twitter. If you do not, or want to have a refresher, definitely check out Andrea’s previous guide to Canadian History on Twitter. Enjoy!
Who’s excited for the CHA? I know I am! If you remember last year, back when Unwritten Histories was still a tiny little baby blog, I wrote a Beginner’s Guide to the CHA, including my top picks for the conference. Just because I love you guys, I have rewritten and updated the guide for this year’s CHA! However, this year, my guide is being hosted over at the CHA’s website! Go check it out!
But what about my top picks? You guys seem to think my opinion is important, so of course I am not going to leave you hanging. In this post, I’ll go over the panels that I think will be the most popular as well as the ones that I am planning to attend! Think of it as a history version of “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego,” only it’s just me, not some super exciting spy. Just remember that these are just my recommendations, and I wish there was a way to attend multiple panels at once. 🙁
One final note before I get down to business: if you happen to spot me running around at some point, please say hi! I promise, I don’t bite! 😉 I would tell you to look for the short, quiet girl with brown hair and glasses, but since that describes at least half of the female CHA attendees, I’m not sure that it’s so helpful…
