• Vienna’s Diaries: The Thoughts that Filled the Coffeehouses
  
  Working in archives and libraries, I will explore how public representations of Vienna’s fin-de-siècle Kaffeehaus culture relate to private diaries and other first-person accounts from the period, examining not only the historical and literary, but also “das Alltägliche” — the everyday delights and side streets. Employing the diary as an avenue of approach will provide a degree of candidness and a diversity of voices often lacking in historical accounts and novels.

• International Conflict Resolution and Teaching English
  
  I am applying to go to Austria for the 2007-08 academic year to take courses at the University of Vienna in the fields of international relations and security studies and intern at the Austrian organization Konfliktkultur, dedicated to resolving conflict and promoting peace. Also, I will teach English to secondary school students and create an after-school program that incorporates documentary and popular culture films to help explicate the American way of life.
