This semester I have three main writing projects. My master’s thesis, which analyzes the newspaper debate over the Hartford Convention, is my most important work. When it is finished, I hope to turn the thesis into a publishable journal article. For the class Forces in American History, I am writing a historiographical essay on the age of Jackson; for African-American History, I am writing a historiographical essay on slavery. I’d also like to rewrite my paper on the Sabbath and Massachusetts Indians so that I can submit it to a journal.
