Directed Study, TTU, Fall 2014: Mobile Identity

Doing an honors directed study seemed like a good idea. And it was, in the end. But the journey was the most difficult I've had as an undergrad.

My research directors, Drs. Groundland and Barnard, challenged me to give 100% to this project, and expected no less. For the first time in college I was being graded against my potential instead of the rest of a class. It was indeed an eye-opening experience.

The final paper can be accessed here: Mobile Identity: The Role of the Sephardic Jews' Language in Fifteenth- and Sixteenth-Century Spain and Morocco.
