Below are various essays, abstracts and papers that I have written. Some are unedited. Some represent preliminary research on topics I later abandoned or integrated into a different project. Some are in the process of being revised for submission to a journal or other periodical. I’ve provided links to some of the material — usually signifying that it is “dead in the water” and I’ve no better place to display it.
