update

Currently, my senior research projects are all in history and my interdisclipinary project is designing my own human rights curriculum proposal (complete with pedagogy, syllabus, annotated bib and the like).

My senior research projects are:

McNair Scholar Summer Research Title:
Visibility as Power: A Historical Analysis of the Gay Pride Parade in Idaho


Honors Senior Thesis Title:
Representative Bodies: The History and Policy of HIV/AIDS in Idaho


I have written extensively in my undergraduate on themes of visibility and the role of language in both a liberatory and oppressive function. My degree is in Human Rights Studies. Previous paper topics include: Post-Colonial Feminism, Gay Marriage, Language and Law, Civil and Refugee rights (particularly African American civil rights and Cambodian and Vietnamese Refugee Rights).

I am leaning toward a degree either in History (modern european or modern american history), international studies or literature and modern thought. The grad schools I'm seriously considering are: Stanford, UC Berkeley, Brown, Oxford, Washington State and Oregon State University.
