Nick Sacco's post is for the 5th Anniversary of his blog. He actually answers some of the questions I posed in his anniversary post.
1. How did you decide that you wanted to start a blog?
Nick Sacco: I initially created this website as an avenue to work on my writing skills while I was a graduate student at IUPUI and to contemplate (in a public setting) what studying history meant to me. I continue to write here for those same reasons, but as a professional public historian I’ve also worked to discuss challenges I face in my work and to contribute to larger conversations within the field about fair employment practices, “public engagement,” and interpreting difficult histories.
