Twitterstorians

Hello!

I'm at @Trepanatus -- currently adjuncting in the New York Area and will defend my dissertation on Medieval Spain next week. I tweet on a variety of subjects, but history definitely shows up.

I found your twitter account and blog through one of the people you follow on twitter here. Thanks for this list. I had been tweeting about everything through only one feed, but I decided to start a separate account just for my life in history, @clioandme. I do modern German history, and right now I'm an adjunct at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.

I'm an art historian http://twitter.com/janetedavis who also does most other types of history. I am decidedly chatty on Twitter & occasionally engage in debates about UK heritage specifically, often with historians & archaeologists whom I know/have met offline too.

Great list, I tweeted a link to followers of @gylphi (http://twitter.com/gylphi) and there has been numerous RTs and a great show of interest.

By chance you posted @Rafairman [later corrected] and he has been surprised to see his name here. You corrected it to @Airminded Brett Holman

Blogger Katrina said...

jfleming: I'm surprised too, as I've never heard of Rafairman! I haven't "corrected" (changed) any entries.
Brett Holman (@airminded) is on the list since he wrote to me and asked to be added. If anyone else wants to be on the list, they can comment here or write to me.
