All semester, I have been a part of a weekly research group. We have been reading diaries of American women from the 1800s and assessing their emotional lives. Primarily, we are studying the ways in which their emotions manifest in their religious experience, and how their emotional and spiritual lives are constantly reproducing one another. We are evalulating the impact of their religious communities on their faith, and attempting to understand how they felt about religion when no one was watching. My faculty advisor was Dr. John Corrigan, and we are currently writing an article to send out for publishing in mid-May. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him—he is deeply curious, and he encouraged us to see ourselves as 'experts' of the diaries we read. I felt that he gave me a great amount of knowledge, autonomy, and encouragement throughout this process.
