I completed my undergrad in History, focusing on Animal and Environmental History. This resulted in my dissertation on animal welfare in the 1870s, exploring human attitudes to animals, activists at the time and drawing upon (depressing) links to our current day situation.

I am currently narrowing down a topic, which will likely use unstructured interviews, although it may also draw on quantitative methods.

These taste like you’re eating a Twix bar only better cause POPCORN. They literally melt in your mouth with a nice crunch from almonds and salty popcorn. Seriously, these are so good. When Sara made them she had to give them away so she wouldn’t eat the whole batch.
