Professor Alexandros Kyrou’s (history) article "Russian Wreckage Versus American Hegemony in Ukraine: Finding Reasoned Alternatives" was published in The Hellenic Edition of Foreign Affairs. The English language version can be found here.
Professor Morrison (history) wrote on early American voyages to Australia and New Zealand for the ANZASA Online blog. The piece is titled “A Dangerous World: Yankee Voyages to Australia and NewZealand.” Professor Morrison also wrote on his new book, “Eastward of Good Hope: Early America in a Dangerous World,” for the Campaign for the American Reader blog: the Page 99 Test.
Professor Anna Rocca (world languages and cultures) published a chapter entitled “Assia Djebar’s La Soif: Abortion and Crime” in the book collection "Mothers Who Kill." Assia Djebar’s La Soif (1957) was written during a historical period of tremendous hostilities between Algeria and France. The novel reflects the hypocrisy of both the French and Algerian nationalist agendas that exploited the idea of modernity as a new political system of socialization. It also reveals the tensions of the time as well as the profound alienation that women in particular were facing in both modern and traditional worlds.
Professors Lamont Simmons and Elspeth Slayter (social work) published an op-ed in The Salem News highlighting the ways in which Professor Beth Bower's research on the 1790's "warning out" of Black Salem residents informs the racism present in current-day Salem. Anti-racist practice approaches are discussed for the Salem community to act on. Read “Column: The “warning out” of Salem’s Black residents in 1790” here.
