The Process blog has posted its Saturday recap from the annual meeting of the Organization of American Historians. Check it out here.
Here are the sessions that have been storified. I live-tweeted the Kevin Kruse session and the Jon Butler session.
- Presidential Address: God, Gotham, and Modernity
- Queer and Trans* Oral History Projects
- Sexuality, Race, and Leadership amid Crisis in Twentieth-Century Urban America
- Christianity and Capitalism in the Modern United States: Historians Respond to Kevin Kruse’s One Nation under God
- History, Numbers, Numeracy: Opportunities and Obstacles in Quantitative and Digital History
- Capturing Indigeneity through Sound and Image: New Media and American Indians, 1860–1920

Lesson for aspiring professional scholars: Sex is always popular. Race is of course a staple. But combine them and the academic world is your oyster.
