COLLEGIATE WRITING
History is a writing intensive major. Consequentially, I have produced a number of academic essays during my time at Michigan.
I like academic writing and historical analysis. Although I often dread papers before I begin working on them, brooding about all the ways they could go wrong, I normally end up very invested in my topic and eager to make an argument about it. Here I have included a number of pieces, which span across time and around the globe in their content, that I have written during my time at Michigan.
Feel free to scroll through this page as a whole and look at my entire body of work, or refer to the links to the left to find a topic of particular interest to you.
