https://ponderingpublichistory.wordpress.com/about
My name is Alexandra Erichson and I am a Public History. Graduate student at American University. What is Public History. Well, ask everyone one of us in this program and we will all have different answers. For me, Public History is about interpreting history in a way that is understandable to a audience outside of academia. You encounter public historians in museums, historic sites, and when you pick up your favorite history magazine. A little about me! Assessing the relevance of a T-Rex statue at a zoo.

Stop Complaining and Do Something! June 6, 2015. Our readings for this week discussed collaboration online and all of the possibilities the internet offers in terms of information sharing and all of the (unused) potential for historians to share their knowledge. By this point in the course, I feel I have read enough long-winded diatribes on what historians. Paul Ford in “ The Web is a Customer Service Media. 8220;, explains why collaboration is such a powerful component of the internet. He notes. Discuss...

The Historian's Web. History and New Media, HIST 677. Retracing the Photographer’s steps–Historypin on Vashon Island. June 16, 2015. Of all the assignments we have completed for this semester, historypin is by far my favorite. Perhaps that is because the assignment is part detective work. Where was the photograph taken? Should I pin the photograph to that exact location, or to another place that has more thematic relevance to the photograph today? It was not always. For instance, I used the Museum of His...

Approximate truths comparative lies. The APPlication of Artifacts in the Digital Age. Everything came from someplace, John Russick. Russick continues, What is the role of the artifact when learning increasingly occurs in a digital form? More fundamentally, is it our job to make our collections compelling? Or are our collections just tools for us to use to help people learn, share, and understand the subject to which our museums are dedicated? Curators perhaps need to think more like content marketers.

Pondering Prose and Verse. When I write, I think of it as a selfish act, because I feel like only I derive pleasure from it. I feel like nobody will ever feel the pain pulsing out, rupturing, stinging the atmosphere, cutting through. Slicing them open, so they can feel my pain. I wonder if that happens to others, when they read what I write. September 10, 2016. Pain is a Dumb Word. It’s a dumb word. It’s not a real word. It’s not an actual word. How the holes in the heart.

Ponderings of a Puritan
Monday, June 17, 2013. Is it possible that angels can reproduce? It was a question asked during a spirited debate regarding a good understanding of Gen. 6:1-4. It is an interesting question that was spawned out of when angels were created, how much do we really know, and can we know with any certainty. I would like to look at this briefly in hopes of addressing the opening question. First, when were angels created? In all honesty, Scripture is unclear as to when they were created. John 1:1-3 states, R...
Pondering purpose - Home
Life can be so much more fulfilling if you align your career with an underlying life purpose. So many of us simply go through the motions in our jobs and think that some day we'll figure out what we really want to do. Our jobs are "good enough". But I hear the clock ticking and feel compelled to define my life mission and find true purpose in a career. Think of the last time you were in a situation where things didn’t go as you had planned. Did you improvise to achieve what you wanted anyways? Thankfully...

Pondering Quilting
An attempt to corral myself. View my complete profile. May 18, 2015. This is Diane's hexagon quilt. She had pieced all the hexagon's together, then appliqued them onto the border. This is the bottom row. She wanted a very lose design on the hexagons and a feather border. I did the feathers freehand. This is an overall design, I used Autopilot for the center. Diane used an aged muslin for the back. Well, Diane was very happy with her finished quilt! May 16, 2015. Close up of the feather design and leaves.
