@suzania @Plough I could recommend a few passages from Martin Luther King Jr. Or write you a piece on his personalist commitments. (His dissertation is an argument for a personal God. And he identified explicitly as a philosophical personalist.)

[Micah Harris, PhD @writermicah]

@mattleeanderson I just wrote a piece on how Martin Luther King Jr. inhabited stories across time and space. He was Moses leading people out of slavery, Jeremiah preaching justice for the oppressed, Martin Luther reforming a corrupt church. Happy to send it, if you’re interested.

We're holding a Cognitive Liberty conference at Duke, March 5-7. Keynote speeches by Arthur Brooks and Iain McGilchrist. Do you know scholars or graduate students who would be interested? https://t.co/4ZcjNvzYzh

Some of the references for a book chapter I submitted yesterday.

@CUApolitics Thank y'all!

[CUA Politics @CUApolitics]

Congratulations to @writermicah (CUA Ph.D.) on his new article, "Emiles and Sophies: How Noah Webster Educated America’s Youth Like Characters from Rousseau," published in the History of Political Thought!

[Micah Harris, PhD @writermicah]

Rousseau had more influence in early America than we thought! See my new HPT article, "Emiles and Sophies: How Noah Webster Educated America’s Youth Like Characters from Rousseau." https://t.co/X9cAD2WH7q

An afterword on Dr. King's villains. And a note about what kind of person our society promotes to the top. https://t.co/BJQ0IgyOFq

@PhilipDBunn Let me know what you think?

[Micah Harris, PhD @writermicah]

Y'all! It's my first peer-reviewed publication! If you're curious how the American founders read books and used the ideas they found to help shape a new nation, you might find this interesting.

It's titled, "Noah Webster and the Influence of Rousseau on Education in America, 1785–1835"

[Micah Harris, PhD @writermicah]

@tmbejan @Politics_Oxford I need to meet him!

[Micah Harris, PhD @writermicah]

Just signed the publication contract for my first peer-reviewed journal article! “Noah Webster and the Influence of Rousseau on Education in America, 1785 - 1835” Thank you especially to @AOprea_PPE, @w_merrill, @bkleinerman, and @JustinLitke for coaching me through the process!

[Micah Harris, PhD @writermicah]

It was a long road. Between Nov 1 and late April, I submitted 30+ applications and got nothing but silence and rejections. I had a great outcome. Still, it was exhausting and demoralizing. And, since my new post is temporary, I'll be back at it again, starting in a few weeks.

[Micah Harris, PhD @writermicah]

Y'all! I got a PhD! I will be starting a postdoctoral fellowship at Duke University this fall. And I'm thrilled!
