David Bresnahan
For his research paper for History of Modern Japan, David Bresnahan
knew that he wanted to investigate the impact of the Japanese diaspora
on globalization. Human diaspora is the forced migration of a
population away from its traditional homeland and culture.
After discussing this concept with his faculty mentor, Dr. David Kenley, David decided to study Alberto Fujimori’s presidency of Peru. Drawn to this topic because of the convergence of influences from Japan, the Organization of American States, the United States, and Peru’s South American neighbors, David is fascinated by the merging of elements of various cultures and the implications that these hybrid cultures have at both the local and international level.

Sarah Grove
Religion major Sarah Grove’s decision about which topic to select for her senior thesis was surprisingly simple.
Sarah had become fascinated with the wisdom text after taking one of Dr. Bucher’s seminars. Separately, she also was curious to investigate depictions of the afterlife and death imagery in the Hebrew Bible and Intertestimental literature. Both of these interests – along with her aptitude for translating Hebrew – led her to her senior thesis titled “Death, Wealth, and Shepherds: The Afterlife Experience Presented in Psalm 49.”
