Thanks for visiting my little corner of the internet.
I recently earned my Master's Degree in history from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where I studied both U.S. and Asian history.  Although most of my course work focused on the Urban American West, my thesis falls under Juvenile Legal History.  When I move on to my PhD, I would like to continue studying the history of children.

In the meantime, my interests, both within and without the academy, are varied and they all tend to find a home here.   
The links above lead to my history blog and to pages highlighting my scholarly projects, as well as my CV.  Feel free to look around.

My current project focuses on gender in anime.  Shortly, an online survey will be available regarding anime characters.  Data collected through the survey will remain anonymous.  
Once the anime project is finished, I will be expanding on my thesis.
