ANNOUNCEMENTS
H-HISTMAJOR is a moderated internet discussion forum of, by, and for
undergraduate history majors. It is a place where undergraduate interests
and concerns can be addressed as the primary topics rather than subtopics
of professorial interests, such as curriculum or academic legitimacy.
These interests can include information about graduate programs,
conferences for undergrads, jobs for BAs in history, research topics,
international networking, relations with faculty advisors and mentors,
and
whatever else concerns undergrads. In other words, a list where undergrads
determine the agenda. Subscriptions will only be confirmed with a
completed subscriber's survey. As with any edited list, all postings
will
be made at the discretion of the on-duty editor. The list logs are
available on the World Wide Web, linked through H-Net=92s web site,
http://www.h-net.msu.edu.
The H-HISTMAJOR list is co-edited by rotating teams of undergraduates
with
faculty sponsors. Five to six history professors at different institutions
will each mentor a student at their institutions, and the faculty sponsors
will also be subscribers to the list. Faculty sponsors give advice,
counsel, training, support, ideas, and situational backup editing,
but
they will *not* try to control the list. Undergraduate editors will
seek
out accurate information, exclude urban legends and other Internet
garbage, check out rumors before posting them, and contact faculty
for
help as needed.
