My dissertation project, “The Laughing Dove,” examines the role of satire in U.S. anti-war rhetoric during the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, and the Philippine-American War.
I will complete my Ph.D. by December of 2008. My committee at U.C. Irvine is chaired by Dr. Brook Thomas and includes Dr. Steven Mailloux and Dr. Ann Van Sant.
