Triumph of the Alumni: Jared Hardesty Publishes Article



Jared Hardesty, who graduated from ONU with a major in History in 2008, recently had two of his articles published.  Hardesty, who is working on his Ph.D. at Boston College, published "An Ambiguous Institution: Slavery Law, and the State in Colonial Massachusetts" in The Journal of Early American History, and "An Angry God in the Hands of Sinners: Enslaved Africans and the Uses of Protestant Christianity in Colonial Boston," in Slavery and Abolition.  He also has published several reviews and encyclopedia entries on slavery and slave rebellions while at BC.

While an HPJ major, it was clear that Jared would go far, but his scholarly productivity as a graduate student has been phenomenal.  Few grad students manage to publish their work before earning their Ph.D, and that Jared has articles in prestigious journals bodes well for his future in the profession.

Well done and we will continue to enjoy watching as your career progresses!
