Reading Matters@IPRH Post: "Go Set a Watchwoman"

I'm very excited to have had the opportunity to contribute a post to the Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities Reading Matters blog. The post, titled "Go Set a Watchwoman," gave me an opportunity to air my grievances with the popular media, whose preoccupation with Finch as a racist completely undermined the merits of Scout's actions and sacrificed the narrative of our heroine and led to a male-centric focus on the book.
