Journal Articles

Academic journal articles are the focus for most current scholarship. As a result, they are often hard to publish. I have been very lucky in a number of cases; more often than not, though, I have had to try multiple places before I could gain acceptance. The many referees who commented on my work along the way have helped me make it much better than I could have done working alone. No doubt there are still many errors of reasoning or analysis that I need to correct. I hope this work makes a contribution nonetheless. I am listing the articles in reverse chronological order. The links will take you to a stable URL.
