Finding Historical Place
Here is my award-winning senior thesis on forms of electoral participation.
It won Sociologists of Minnesota's 2008 Undergraduate Student Paper Competition.

Adoption and Ascription
My other senior thesis studied three theories
of gay male identity.

Deaf and Able
This is my brief essay on social power and activism,
focusing on Deaf resistance at Gallaudet University in the 1980s.

Ethnic Conflict in Postville
Not long ago, a meat processing plant in Postville, Iowa,
was raided because of alleged immigration violations.
I wrote this essay on ethnic conflict in the town well before the raid took place.

Taking Control
Total institutions (like mental hospitals and prisons)
systematically strip their wards of their identities.
Here is a paper on the process.

A Critique of the ADHD Status
This is a very brief editorial on the nature
of "learning disabilities," particularly ADHD.
I wrote it specifically for this web site.
