I completed my undergraduate thesis in Winter 2004. My supervisor was Dr. Linda Warley and I examined how George Elliott Clarke creates the cornerstones of a national literature, or mythology, for Africadia, or Black Nova Scotia. You can see how my research progressed by reading my blog.
Says the faculty research interest profile on english.uwaterloo.ca:
