Greetings, and welcome to Goldwag’s Journal on Civilization! My name is Nathan Goldwag, I’m a graduate of Brandeis University, where I studied History, Politics, and Classics, and Long Island University, where I earned my Masters in Library and Information Studies a few years ago. Now I’m living back in New York City, doing data entry work while I try and find a way to put my degrees to better use. In the past I’ve been published at Mondoweiss , the Journal of Cartoon Overanalyzations, Sea Lion Press, Tranquility Press, Heat Death, and Liberal Currents. I have a lot of eclectic interests, which include history, politics, vexillology, science fiction, alternate history, classics, social issues, and the various ways in which these intersect. This is my blog. It is where I write about these, and any other topics that cross my mind. Hopefully, you will find this entertaining. Enjoy!
