Ashton McCracken holds an Honors Bachelor of Arts in History, summa cum laude from Oregon State University. In his undergraduate thesis, “An Irish Tragedy: John Redmond, the Tragic Flaw, and the Great War in a Divided Ireland,” he argued that narrative structures are essential to the intelligibility of history. He now writes about religion, culture, and society in pursuit of universal truths about Man and the world in which he lives.
