Undergraduate Research fellows

Adelina (Nina) Acuña, Stanford University
Nina is a senior double-majoring in American Studies and History, working with Estelle Freedman on a project titled "Representations of Rape in the American Popular Press, 1870-1910." During her fellowship year Nina will survey and produce a content analysis of eight late-nineteenth century newpapers, looking specifically at the terminology used to refer to rape, changes in the type and extent of coverage over time, representations of race, and regional differences in reporting.

Christina Knight, Stanford University
Christina is a Senior majoring in Interdisciplinary Studies in the Humanities, working with Jonathan Holloway on a project titled "Post-Reagan Dissemblance: Class Evasion and Racial Nostalgia in Black Memoir." Christina's research will focus on issues of self-representation in 1980s and '90s black memoir and the role that this genre played in blurring the lines of class politics.

Kahdeidra Martin, Stanford University
Kahdeidra is a senior majoring in African and African American Studies, and minoring in Linguistics. Kahdeidra is working with Sandra Barnes, collecting and analyzing data from published and archival sources on the economic endeavors (particularly trading relationships) of coastal West Africans who lived between the Volta and Niger Rivers between the years 1400 and 1900.

Marcin Rusinkiewicz, Stanford University
Marcin is a senior majoring in Comparative Literature and Philosophy, and minoring in Humanities Honors. He is working with Harsha Ram on an interdisciplinary project titled "Theorizing Centre and Periphery in Modernist and Post-Modern Literature." Marcin's honors thesis is on the Chilean poet Nicanor Parra and the Polish dramaturg Tadeusz Kantor, and engages similar questions as his collaborative work with Professor Ram, including a core question about how western literary modes such as modernism and postmodernisn are assimilated, rejected or transformed on the edges of the western cultural system.

Megan Wilcox-Fogel, Stanford University
Megan is a Senior in the History Department, working with Jim Sheehan on a project titled "Violence and the State in Post-World War II Europe," engaging such questions as "how did the experience of World War II impact the willingness of Europeans to give their states the power to utilize violence and wage war?" Megan's related honors thesis focuses on the role of the state in countering terrorism in 1970s Germany, and is an outgrowth of her previous research on twentieth century war rhetoric in America and Britain.
