Hi ... Ok, so in the Spring of 2005 I graduated from Eugene Lang
College (at the New School University in New York City) with a
bachelor's degree in Social and Historical Inquiry. My concentration
was American History with emphasis on religion, science and American
culture.

My thesis/senior work is about the politicization of Darwinism in
British and American history. I looked at this social reality
through a detailed analysis of the movement against Darwin's theory.
Because this movement is a product of historical processes, I
contextualized the development of Darwin's theory, its initial
reception in Great Britain during the Victorian era, its emigration
to the United States after the Civil War and the socio-cultural and
political effects it has had here. I revealed foundation for
Anti-evolutionism in philosophical and theological anti-materialism
and in the emergence and reassertiveness of religious orthodoxy,
American Protestant Fundamentalism and evangelical revivalism. I
also showed that, just like the conservative movement it is a part
of, modern American Anti-evolutionism is a coalition-based political
movement made up of disparate and diverging factions. This, in turn,
revealed why modern Anti-evolutionism is a uniquely American
institution; a fact supplemented by the distinct relationship between
religion, politics and the state in this country.

I know, kind of a mouthful ... Well, I want to post it somewhere
where I think it'll be of use (I think it can be very useful, but am
also psyched to get some feedback), but am sort of concerned that it
might get lifted, in part or in full - or used without giving credit
to ... well ... me. What do you think I should do about this? I'd
appreciate any input at all. Thanks.

You could post it on a web site as a pdf and prevent it from being
downloaded. That is, it has read only access. You need to talk to
your isp about how to do that. Or you could allow it to be downloaded
but make sure the copyright notice is on the first page.

I'm not sure the t.o site has such a facility.

I for one would love to read it, as it bears strongly on the novel I'm
writing (don't worry, folks, I've changed all the names, except for
Wilkins of course).

And I'd be happy to put it up on the s.b.e. home page, although it's so
moribund I doubt anyone'd see it (and of course, you could gin up the
PDF any way you want, with a nice prominent COPYRIGHT NOTICE and all).

But since ediacara.org hosts the s.b.e. page, I suppose I ought to ask
G_d -- I mean, Greig -- if it's okay with Him. Err, him.

-JAH

not taking any chances
