Ryland Breeding (09 History) stopped by the HPJ offices during his Christmas Break from Virginia Commonwealth University. Ryland reports that his classes went well, and that he was enjoying being a graduate student, though the workload was heavy. Topping his workload list was Historiography, which meant a great deal of reading and discussion of works that illustrate the various schools of historical inquiry. Ryland led discussion on a book concerning the Great Cat Massacre in France during the 19th century - gotta love reading that sort of social/labor history! He also mentioned that the transition from life in small town Ada, to Richmond was going well and that southern culture was not too much of a shock.
It's always great to see our alums and hear of their adventures! Best of luck to Ryland next semester as he starts to narrow in on his Thesis topic!
