How does your artistic product connect to your research? Be specific!
[ Example: The song will be about Ancient Nubian geography. I will focus my lyrics around at least two of five
(2/5) themes of geography, probably around place, and human/environmental interaction, but I may include
some of the other themes as well. I will make it clear in my lyrics that Ancient Nubia was in East Afrika, along
the Nile. I may mention the cataracts as a landmark, or Ill say that modern day Northern Soudan and
Southern Egypt are where Ancient Nubia used to be. I will also be sure to mention how seasonal flooding in
the Nile fertilized the land and allowed Ancient Nubians to practice agriculture, as well domesticate and herd
cattle and other animals.]
