      Doctor of Philosophy - PhD American History (United States)

      My dissertation explores the intersection between historical methodology and religious interpretation in history. Using early American Patriot James Otis Jr as my subject of study, I show how viewing his life through various historiographical modes illuminates how Christianity proved largely determinative in his life. I'm nearing the completion of coursework and have maintained a perfect GPA on a 4.0 scale. I'll begin the writing phase of my dissertation in 2024.
