Servants in Victorian Literature
This paper was written for a Victorian Literature and Culture class my sophmore year at Furman University. It discusses the role and social standing of servants in the Victorian Era compared with the servant portrayal in Charles Dickens' Bleak House.

LGBT Ethnography
This essay was written for a project on the LGBT presence on Furman University's campus. I researched various clubs and viewpoints, as well as the bullying aspect on this community.
