Project on Increasing Democratic Engagment at GC

The purpose of this research project is to analyze the Times Talk initiative at Georgia College as a rhetorical method through which the college tries to increase civic engagement in the democratic process of debate and deliberation. The rational for the implementation of debate and deliberation initiatives at public universities and colleges in the United States, is followed by a strategic plan for implementing the Times Talk at other institutions. My hope is that by implementing debate and deliberation initiatives like Times Talk, we foster civic engagement, heighten awareness, and then turn awareness to action. 

Literary Translation of Poetry Collection

The journey through these poems have been immensely challenging both for my capabilities in Danish and in English. Working within two languages I previously felt I had control of, I came to realize the vastness of what I have left to master. This process has taught me not only about butterfly species, but about difference in syntax, history and roots of languages, and new ways to use the language I grew up thinking I had already conquered. It has been a humbling experience to face these challenges, but all the more inspiring and encouraging because of this.
