Most Visited ESN Blog Posts of 2017

January 9, 2018 by Tom Grosh IV Leave a Comment

As we engage 2018, I thought that it would be of benefit for the Emerging Scholars Network (ESN) to offer a series of short posts reviewing some of where  the blog has been, what continues to serve as “must reads,” and where we are headed in the coming months. Shout-out to  Andy  for getting the ball rolling with  Science Corner: 2017 in Review  and Science Corner: Looking Back to Move Forward! Yesterday I posted  Most Visited ESN Blog Posts in 2017.

I was not surprised to find ESN’s Most Visited Blog Posts in  2017 to be “classics” and as such not the same as the Most Visited Blog Posts of  2017. So what posts written in 2017 received the most visits?

  • Apply for the 2017 Christian Scholars Foundation Grant: Deadline March 15, 2017
    • A junior faculty? Then don’t miss the opportunity to apply for the 2018 Christian Scholars Foundation Grant (Deadline of March 15, 2018). To learn more about the  Christian Scholars Foundation Grant, click here. For an interview of the 2016 Christian Scholars’ Foundation Grant Recipient Carrie Bredow, click here.

  • What Is the Emerging Scholars Network?
    • In 2017 our blog’s “about” page received more attention than expected. In the fall I made some revisions, in 2018 I intend to improve this page. If you have suggestions, please let me know. Thank-you!
  • Faith and Doubt in Emily Dickinson’s “This World is not Conclusion” by Mark Hansard  is part of  Scholar’s Compass.
  • Leaving Academia, Part 1  by  Joshua Wu  begins an practical series.

    • Letters have been an appreciated style for blog posts. I hope to have more published in 2018.

So that’s another quick glimpse of the Emerging Scholars Network’s blog! Stay tuned for Resources for the New Year and A New Year at ESN. If you missed the material we wrote / highlighted during the month of December, visit ESN Review  🙂

To God be the glory!
