About HistoryBlogs@Kean
Kean University Department of History, now in its new home in the Liberty Hall Academic Center, launches its new blog, HISTORYBlogs@Kean. William
Livingston’s world (with the support of an NEH Humanities Initiative Grant) has already provided ample fodder for the exploration by Kean history students of the founding of the United States and New Jersey and the lives of the those who lived in that world. With Livingston serving as a model public intellectual and public servant dedicated to understanding and bettering his world,
HISTORYBlogs@Kean will offer periodic posts dedicated not only to William Livingston’s historical world and the world he and subsequent generations of Keans created at Liberty Hall, but also to the role of history in understanding our world today. We in the Department of History, Liberty Hall Museum, and Kean University look forward to sharing this conversation with you via this blog and other programming.
