My senior thesis, “‘Accio, Author!’: The Convergence and Dispersal of Authorships in the ‘Harry Potter’ Franchise,” earned recognition from both the Glynn Family Honors Program and the Department of Film, Television and Theatre (FTT). Dr. Jim Collins directed the project, and it was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Honors Program and FTT.

The video below walks through the main arguments of my thesis with images and slides to illustrate key points. I narrate the video with an abridged version of my paper.
