Hi all,
Since I know how much you all love reading my (usually) weekly blog, I am giving you the chance to be privy to even more of my vast insight. Here is a collection of the best research papers, literary essays, theses and critiques from my college career. There are also a few blog posts I’ve written for other sites. And there are–surprise, surprise–a lot of themes dealing with gender. Read to your heart’s content!
I’m so nice, I’ll even give you a key so you know what you’re reading:
- Literary analyses are in purple.
- Essays applying communication theory to the modern media are in blue.
- Rhetorical criticisms are in red.
- Blog posts not concerning the Outside Girls are in green.
- Articles (thus far unpublished) I’ve written are in pink.
- And my one, very opinionated position paper is in orange.
I hope you enjoy your journey into my undergraduate brain!
