Each year the Library of Congress welcomes more than 100 scholars in residence to The John W. Kluge Center to conduct research in the Library's collections. A new blog launching this fall will tell the story of scholarship at the Kluge Center and how the Library of Congress remains an international destination for scholarly research with tangible political, social and cultural impact.
The new blog, titled "Insights: Scholarly Work at The John W. Kluge Center" will feature a variety of content that highlights the continual scholarly research conducted at the Library. Posts will range from interviews with current and past scholars-in-residence to reflections by Kluge Center staff on new research emerging from the use of the Library's collections. The blog will also reflect on how the work of top scholars in the humanities and social sciences advances and deepens our understanding of the world around us.
The blogging team will be led by Jason Steinhauer, Program Specialist at the Kluge Center. Mary Lou Reker, Special Assistant to the Director, Dan Turello, Program Specialist, and Travis Hensley, Program Assistant will be regular blog contributors. Guest posts will include contributions from Kluge scholars, Library curators and specialists, and members of the Library of Congress Scholars Council.
"Insights" will launch in mid-September 2014 at http://blogs.loc.gov and on the Kluge Center website. Updates on the launch date will be posted on the Kluge Center website, The Library of Congress blog pages, the Library's social media accounts and the Kluge Center RSS feed. For more information, email scholarly@loc.gov.
The John W. Kluge Center was established at the Library of Congress in 2000 to foster a mutually enriching relationship between the world of ideas and the world of action, between scholars and political leaders. The Center attracts outstanding scholarly figures to Washington, D.C., facilitates their access to the Library's remarkable collections, and helps them engage in conversation with policymakers and the public.
