Now that I have a direction to head in, I think the frequency of my posts should pick up. It's been suggested to me that perhaps an academic paper might be suitable for me, given that if I get my wish of going to graduate school one day, I will be doing a significant amount of such writing. More specifically, I'm working on a sort of set of guidelines for what is required for entry into the graduate program for history at Clemson. As I'd like to enter a grad program for history at some point in the future, this will be beneficial to me as well as students currently considering grad school here. I plan to discuss the matter with Dr. Carney and with my advisor, Dr. Moise. I'd like to find out what actually exists, and if there is any actual need of such a document in the history department. If they actually need a sort of introductory booklet to the grad program, I'd love to do one for them.
