We're wholeheartedly in favor of scholarly work on pirates and we're definitely intrigued by Peter Leeson's The Invisible Hook: The Hidden Economics of Pirates (discussed tangentially here), but this trailer for the book, produced by Princeton University Press, shows the dangers of carrying the pirate theme too far...
Basically this is what we're trying to avoid doing with our project.

Erin Lockwood and Catherine Manhardt are juniors at American University who have been granted an Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowship to study representations of piracy. We created this blog to allow friends, family, and all other interested parties to keep up with what we are doing as our research progresses, and to create a real-time public record of some of our more interesting piratical findings. A copy of our grant application is available here. Enjoy!
