Hello! My name is Jack and I’m a senior and a double major in English and History. My geographical focus is Trans-Atlantic history, and my favorite kind of literature leans towards more post modern. I usually focus on imperial powers and how they affect smaller nations, so I took this course with the intent of leaning more about the effects that the British and Spanish had on the local cultures and their erasure.

I want to learn more about the local governments and cultures that came to oppose the ruling empires in the region. I spent my Junior I.S. for history last year researching piracy in the Caribbean so I’m excited to go back and look at how the region changed after studying it in an early 1700s time frame.
