My 2019: Best* Posts

It is time again for a series of posts that I use to reflect on the year that was. First up, I want to highlight some of my favorite posts to this point in the year. These are not necessarily the best or the best-trafficked, but rather things I wrote that I look back on fondly and think are worth revisiting.

This was a down-year for me in terms of output mostly because heavy teaching loads left me too little time to write. Unsurprisingly, most of the substantial writing I did here were related to teaching, academia, or related topics:

• Alexander (2004), Revisited
• Skepticism and Historical Authority
• Thesis of UnThesis
• The Twilight of the Blogs
• Luck

I didn’t write much about current events or politics this year, but I did write about the Salute to America event this past summer, reflecting on commemoration, ceremony, and identity:

• One More Parade

Finally, I published one long post about the reception of Sherlock Holmes:

• The Best Sherlock Holmes Adaptation is on Network TV
