MKA Senior, Shaurya Salwan, Has His Thesis Selected For Publication In The Concord Review

MKA Senior, Shaurya Salwan, will have the honor of seeing his junior independent history thesis, "Trampled Under Foot: A Shabby Resort in New Hampshire and The Birth of American Economic Hegemony,"published in the Spring 2018 issue of The Concord Review. Founded in l987, this prestigious publication recognizes exemplary history essays by high school students, and is distributed to 44 states in the U.S. and in 38 countries around the world. His is the second Concord Review paper from the class of 2018, the fourth in the past four years, and the tenth MKA paper to be published in the Concord Review since 2007.

Upper School History Department Chair David Korfhage says, "I'm very proud of Shaurya's achievement. The history department is proud to have another student paper published in the Concord Review, which we view as a testament to the strength of our history research program. This is a track record to be proud of."

The Junior History Research Project is an alternative to the traditional American History AP course and requires every member of the junior class to spend six months conducting independent, in-depth research, using both primary and secondary sources, into an aspect of American history, prior to writing a thesis which can range anywhere from 3200 - 6500 words.

Congratulations to Shaurya on this tremendous accomplishment!
