Congratulations to all the seniors who participated in the I.S. Symposium Friday. You did a wonderful job highlighting the wide range of historical questions you pursue and your excellent work as historians.
Just a few notable examples: Bonnie Berg (pictured, left) shared photographs of the 1903 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, NY. Ben Caroli curated an exhibit in Special Collections that analyzed the history of WWII propaganda posters. Joe Skonce came dressed as his first-person historical character Quartermaster Jeremiah Reid to talk about the history of pirates and piracy. Leann Do shared her documentary film chronicling her I.S. interviews in Vietnam. Mary Elizabeth Walters (History & Political Science) presented her research on humanitarian interventions Kosovo and Sierra Leone.
Special congratulations to the two History seniors who won the Digital I.S. prizes. Lauren Close (History and Art History) won first place for her web exhibit on Paris’ nineteenth-century memorial architecture. Christopher Culbertson (History and Spanish) won second place for his iBook on Chilean cultural identity.
