Three Thoughts:

My Capstone topic would be on … the attempts to restore republican forms of government in the Roman Empire and their portrayal in contemporary American media, such as movies like Gladiator and Star Wars.

If I could give a child one quality, it would be … thoughtfulness.

If I could have dinner with anyone (living or deceased), I would invite … Cleopatra, Elizabeth I, and Wu Zetian. These were three powerful women who defied the order of their day and changed the world. Each of these leaders lived lives that expanded opportunities for women and other marginalized groups over time. I’d be fascinated to learn about their lives from the rulers themselves, and to hear what they make of their legacies today.
