Researchers of Emory

Jesse Steinman  is a Sophomore with an undeclared major in the college. He was awarded a Summer 2018 Independent Grant which he used to conduct research on the  history and memory of the Holocaust  under the Director of Centropa, Edward Serotta. One of the things I have had to get used to in Europe is that AC and ice aren’t standard during the summer. This makes for steaming hot work days, where I am cramped in a stuffy archive for the day. Regardless, my research keeps calling me back for more, and I am always eager to return to work. 

Camila Reed-Guevara  is a rising senior double majoring in Classics and Philosophy .  She was awarded a Summer 2018 Conference Grant which she used to attend the  Congresso Internacional de Literatura y Estudios Hispánicos . “Philosophy neither rejects nor chooses anyone: it shines for all.”  Seneca the Younger  I presented my paper titled, “Three Stoic Exemplars: Julia Álvarez’s Mirabal Sisters and Their Place in the Ethical World” at the twenty-second  Congresso Internacional de Literatura y Estudios Hispánicos in Granada, Spain this June.  This conference  is directed by Enrique Herrera, a professor at Lock Haven University, it is bi-annually held in locations in the Hispanic world (Spain, Central, Latin America, and the Caribbean.) I presented on a panel on the subject of female literary figures in Hispanic literature. Two professors from Spanish universities were on the panel with me and I presented second.
