Three HPJ students recently presented at the 2014 Phi Alpha Theta Biennial Convention in Albuquerque. Franklin Howard, John Curiel, and Autumn Kalikin presented their research and enjoyed the warmth over the Christmas break.
Howard presented his paper "Upgrading the Closet: Pulp Fiction and the Gay Man's Quest for Space in American Society, 1940-1969."
Curiel's paper was "Depolarization Through Rationality in Chile: The 1988 Plebiscite and its Aftermath."
Kalikin's paper title was "A 'Riveting' Tale: How the Press and the Public Viewed the Working Women of World War II."
In addition to escorting the students to New Mexico, Dr. Waters also took part in a faculty panel and presented a paper titled "American Labor's Cold War Embassadors." He also chaired a panel on Mexican and Caribbean History, and another on Latin America.
The students enjoyed their experience and also impressed their audiences. So much so that Howard was offered the opportunity to publish his paper in a journal. This is a significant opportunity that very few undergraduate students have the opportunity to accomplish.
And, as can be seen in the photo, the students even found the time to do a little "Hilling."
Well done Franklin, John, and Autumn!
