Today is officially my last day at Georgetown.

After 18 years of teaching history, and 12 years as a full-time professor in Germany and the U.S., it is the end of my university career.

I will now try to make it as an independent writer and commentator - which is exciting and terrifying. I hope y’all stick with me.

I’ll probably explain the situation and how I got to this point a little more in the newsletter soon. Right now, I’m in the middle of the chaos that comes with moving my family across the Atlantic (my work visa is tied to my position at Georgetown…) while both my wife and I have to figure out new careers and new lives.

I couldn’t even tell you exactly how many short-term contracts and appointments I’ve cycled through: I crossed into the double digits many years ago. At age 42, and as the father of two little children, I am simply not willing to do that anymore, to keep chasing academic jobs and ask my family to just come along.
