YEAR FOUR
AUTUMN 2014
Course: HSTAA 221 United States Environmental History-- Professor Linda Nash; TA Michael Reagan Annotation: This is a place paper about the Denny Regrades, an environmental history event in Seattle that I was previously unaware of. I analyzed it relying mostly on primary sources like "The Seattle Star," the local newspaper at the time. Although I felt like this paper was rushed at the time of completing it, I was able to write it well enough for it to be used as an example essay for future students of the class. WINTER 2014 Course: AIS 202 Introduction of Contemporary Experience in Indian America-- Scott Pinkham Annotation: This is an AIS paper on the influence of book cover artwork on mainstream society's perception of Native American identity. Books analyzed include ones written by N. Scott Momaday, Sherman Alexie, and Nasdijj. This class combined my interest in American Indian culture as well as the logistical, non-artistic aspects of creative writing that are important for authors to think about and be aware of. |

SPRING 2014
Course 1 : Envir 280 Natural History
Annotation: This was one of my favorite classes at UW, since it involved me interacting with nature the way I wanted to. I learned to identify bird calls, plant species, and created my own "walking tour" of the Union Bay Natural area. Click here for my blog of 10-week observations of the Union Bay Natural area as well as one of my first creative-writing + nature combination pieces (under the "walking tour" tab).
Course 2: Envir 492 Post-Capstone
Annotation: This was the final part of my year-long capstone project on cell phone disposal, which consisted of a holistic literature review on the topic; a survey polling 50 Seattle residents about their cell phone disposal habits, attitudes, and knowledge; and a meta-analysis of the industry in general. I presented this poster in the Program on the Environment Capstone Symposium as a cumulative wrap-up of my work.
