"Impact of Athletes’ Media Representation on Self-Objectification"
"Impact of Athletes’ Media Representation on Self-Objectification” was written for Dr. Amy Barton's Research Methods course.
Summary: This study examines how media portrayals of athletes affect the self-objectification of both men and women. It investigates how sexualized vs performance-focused images affect body shaming and self-esteem using visual stimuli and self-perception tests, adding to a more comprehensive knowledge of media-driven body image issues that affect people of all genders.

“The Great War's Greater Victim”
"The Great War's Greater Victim" was written for Dr. Devlin Scofield's The Historian's Craft and it's Uses course.
Summary: Nicholas II was Tsar of Russia from 1894 to 1918. His rule was characterized by his poor abilities and lack of skills necessary to lead a nation. He struggled with allowing nepotism to seep into important areas of government, was apathetic toward his people, and was ultimately unfit to rule.
