我是博士。.D. student studying American women's history at Baylor University. My research interests include women's history, 青春的历史, 美国文化史, the history of higher education, 和进步时代. Although still in its early stages, my dissertation aims to use the history of Sororities to illuminate alternative models of American womanhood and feminisms of difference.
为什么山?
I wanted a school where I could pursue all of my academic and extracurricular interests without being limited to one, 孤立的学习过程. Mount Union exemplifies the liberal arts method. I simply wouldn't be the person, nor the scholar I am today without the lessons I received both in and outside of the classroom. I will forever cherish the people and the place that made me who I am today. I stay connected to Mount mostly through social media.
参与的好处
最明显的是, the high degree of involvement in sorority life on campus inspired many of the questions I ask in my research. 简单地说:什么是姐妹会? Why were these women's groups founded? And, why do they continue to thrive in the twenty-first century? In addition to my involvement with Alpha Delta Pi sorority, my time as a Raider Guide and as Coffeehouse Chair of Raider Programming Board taught me invaluable lessons about leadership and project management. Meanwhile my studies with the theatre department and participation in Mount Union productions strengthened my public speaking skills and confidence; both of which I've found invaluable in my training for the college-level classroom. 最后, my French studies and summer study abroad session in Lyon helped me develop a critical cultural lens to re-interpret American culture. My French language studies also came in handy recently when I travelled to Paris to present my research at the Sorbonne Nouvelle.

I get to read, think, and discuss things that interest me every day! 作为一名博士.D. student I spend my days reading history, 提出新问题, and sharing my findings with my colleagues and professors. I've also been lucky enough to take a few research trips to archives across the United States. I look forward to traveling more as I move into the next stage of research for my dissertation. Ultimately, I’d like to have my own book published!
