I am a grad student at the University of Houston, working toward a PhD in medieval history. My specific area is medieval English legal history. My dissertation topic is Anglo-Norman Law and Society (well, that's the short form, for those not wanting the gory details). I have a B.A. from Wesleyan Univ. in Connecticut, and a J.D. from William and Mary. After six years of work as a lawyer, I forswore my solemn oath never to return to school and succumbed to my desire to teach college-level history.

Ah well, my allegiance remains to the Giants - and the new coach seems to be doing pretty well so far, so I'll keep hoping...
