Research Interests

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, Crime within Indigenous Communities, Media and Crime Relations.  For her FSU UROP project, Nora conducted research with Dr. Davis Houck. Their project was entitled: "Writing His Life: The Life and Death of John Brown in Letters." The project consisted of discovering letters that John Brown wrote on death row and rhetorically analyzing them. Although they did not end up publishing a paper, Nora developed many skills through the process of researching: critical thinking, time management, and communication.  Nora will not be continuing research with this specific project, but she will keep in touch with her mentor, Dr. Houck. The second research project that Nora conducted was not through a program, but started from a simple email inquiring interest on a possible research study. The research is on crime within Indigenous communities -- specifically the Seminole Tribe of Florida -- and it is being led by the Dean of the College of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Dr. Thomas Blomberg. The research is very much in the beginning stages, and Nora hopes to continue this research in the form of a DIS in the following years.
