Student presenting at the 18th Annual Conference of the Florida Society of Social Sciences (F3S)

"I will be presenting at the 18th Annual Conference of the Florida Society of Social Sciences (F3S) on the topic of "Paradiplomacy in Argentina and Brazil: A Perspective from Their Federal Governments." This presentation is an integral part of my ongoing research, which aims to analyze the international relations of subnational entities. Having previously focused on Argentine paradiplomacy from a legal standpoint during my graduate studies in Constitutional Law and International Law, I have broadened my scope. Currently enrolled in the Master in Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino Studies program at the Institute for the Study of Latin America and the Caribbean (ISLAC), I have expanded my research to include a comparative analysis of South American countries with federal systems, particularly Brazil and Argentina. In addition to my legal approach, I have incorporated insights from international relations and political science into my research."

Presidential fellow receives fulbright award

Congratulations to Presidential Fellow Stephan Hassam (Ph.D. Candidate, History), who received a Fulbright Award for the 2022-23 academic year!

Mr. Hassam provided a brief description of his research: "While the Roman period is well documented in Sicily, it is less so in late antiquity. To understand the social and economic transformations on the island after the fall of the Roman empire, it is necessary to bring minor archaeological sites into dialogue with villas, ports, cities, and the routeways that connect them. My project uses spatial analysis to examine changes in spatial relationships of minor late antique sites through time to provide a nuanced vision of shifting landscapes after the fall of the Roman empire. Furthermore, the digital technologies used to map these sites and their inclusion in a GIS also serves to digitally preserve and disseminate this cultural heritage. The resultant map of lesser-known sites in eastern Sicily will be an excellent resource to scholars for research and local cultural heritage practitioners to plan and carry out management projects."
