WELCOME:
Welcome to Knighted: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Undergraduate Research! This
inaugural edition brings together student scholarship from a variety of disciplines,
including English, history, biology, film, and fashion. Knighted showcases the breadth
and depth of undergraduate research at Middle Georgia State University. The Council for
Undergraduate Research says that student research should make “an original intellectual
or creative contribution to the discipline,” and we think that the promising scholarship
assembled in the pages that follow does just that. From “Upcycling” in the world of
fashion, to the memory of a little-known and poorly understood conflict between Dakotas
and white settlers, to sharp analysis of roles for women of color in media, to turtle
trapping techniques, we were fascinated and impressed by the students' work and we
hope you will be too!
