About Austin
June 25, 2007 by Austin
For those who may not know me, I just graduated from The Ohio State University with a M.A. in African American and African Studies. After wrapping up my stint as the graduate associate for diversity on the Ohio State-Mansfield campus, I will be off to Kent State to pursue an M.A. in History since I ultimately aspire to pursue a Ph.D in the same subject. I am also an editor of a student-ran political newsletter called, Spirit of the Nation! and have been an active member and organizer of many student organizations on the Mansfield campus. My formal research interests are social movement and race theories, the modern era civil rights movement (20th century), urban rebellion, and black radicalism. Other interests include the study of American culture in general.
My current interests include the 2007 NBA draft. It’s going to be rediculous!
You’d make a good future prof for Interdisciplinary Studies (social sciences focus) if the opportunity comes up a few years down the line. Miami just made a massive change to their program though - possibly eliminating it? That might mean there’s a niche waiting to open at another university though. Miami used to attract a lot of honors students to their Western Campus (interdisciplinary studies) program!
