Erstwhile: An American History Blog company information, Employees & Contact Information

Founded in the spring of 2014 by six University of Colorado graduate students, Erstwhile is a collaborative space in which American intellectual, cultural, labor, Native American, and environmental historians share ideas. We believe that these subfields communicate with one another in ways that are essential for promoting thoughtful conversation about the past, the present, and the historical profession. While many of our weekly posts relate to current events—within both academic history and the wider world—we also prepare reflective writing on research topics. These have included the nature of the exotic in American entertainment, the meaning of place, social visions for the future, legacies of environmental change, conflicts of free speech in the politics of professional sports, and pressing historiographical and pedagogical questions. We hope you will subscribe, comment, share, and enjoy our collective conversation. Please view our “Staff” page for more information on our editorial board members.
