George Mason's history department is carving out a niche in digital history, and so all Ph.D. students are required to take a class nicknamed Clio Wired, where we learn to conceptualize, evaluate, and employ digital mediums to "circulate knowledge." As a self-proclaimed digital hack ("hack" used in the same way as I would when saying I'm also a golf hack), I'm really impressed with the caliber of the incoming class of students in the department. One case for example is Nona, a student of her native Bahamas, who has already contributed to her field by offering a useful gateway to Bahamian scholarship on the web, Bahamianstudies.org.

I have put up a skeleton of a site that I will slowly develop into an historical project for Clio over the next two semesters. There's not much there as of now, but if you're interested, you can follow its development here as it grows and gets polished up. I'll also add a link in the sidebar eventually.
