A listing of my academic interests. I have realized that until this point there had been no singular list of my academic interests, and so now the time has come for me to establish one in these last days before I begin the Master of Arts in Sociology. It is obvious from the listing that I am now and always have been a student of interdisciplinary topics. Sociology is where my strongest interests are and where I am most focused, but I do believe it to be important that I find ways to interact with my other interests at any available opportunity. I have also become aware that Dr. Stephenson has corrupted me through critical theory, as I am now skeptical of the legitimacy and outward perception of all things socially constructed.
