After nearly six years of blogging the adventures of the Department of History, Politics, and Justice, newer platforms such as Facebook have rendered this redundant. From now on, check out Facebook's Ohio Northern University's Dept. of History Politics and Justice Alumni page for the adventures of HPJ students and faculty. It is easier to post there, and while I have enjoyed creating and maintaing this blog, it is time to move on to bigger and better things.
Just to close things out, the two gentlemen in the first post have gone on to bigger and better things since 2008.
Jared Hardesty has earned his PhD in History from Boston College and is a newly minted tenure track Assistant Professor of History at Western Washington University. He didn't stop there, but also won BC awards for Best Dissertation and Best teacher. He also published an article on Slavery and Abolition, and two academic presses are competing to publish his dissertation. Even more importantly, Jared married Dana Weigel, another graduate of HPJ.
Justin Dickerson, who earned his MA in History from Loyola University, is now teaching American Studies in Beijing China. In his spare moments, Justin has managed to travel in East Asia, with his most recent trip landing him at the DMZ that still separates the Koreas.
Since Jared and Justin were the first to have their pictures grace this site, and since they are likely the only two who have continued to follow it over the years, it is only fitting that they are the subject of the final post.
Well done Jared and Justin!
