The National Building Museum has posted a videorecording of my May 19 lecture.

On Saturday, my Journal of Policy History article, “How Talking Became Human Subjects Research: The Federal Regulation of the Social Sciences, 1965–1991,” was honored with that journal’s Ellis Hawley Prize.

Tomorrow I will travel to Columbus, Ohio, where I will attend the Policy History Conference and present the paper, “No Passive Obedience: Militia Loyalties and Civil Disorder in Early America, 1747-1812.”

On May 19 I took part in Power, Architecture, and Politics: The Design of Washington and the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts Symposium at the National Building Museum. My contribution was the talk, “‘Rather Strong Advisory:’ The 1960s and the Challenge of the FBI Building.”

In the summer of 2010, I am splitting my old, Dreamweaver-based site, www.schrag.info into two new, WordPress-based sites. This one will highlight my research, while historyprofessor.org offers advice to students.

I will use this blog to post updates about my research and perhaps other observations.
