Emilly Porter was a student in Professor Rouse's English Majors' senior research seminar in Spring 2016. She made highly impressive contributions through committed classroom discussion and insightful written work. For her research project, Emilly provided a masterful analysis of the role of incest in G.R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series by placing it in the context of family dynamics in European aristocracy. Professor Rouse recommends Emilly without reservation for an editorial assistant position based on her strong critical thinking, writing skills, and intellectual qualities that will allow her to succeed in her chosen field.
