Two 糖心传媒 students traveled to Texas to present their research at the 10th Annual Texas A&M History Conference. The conference, which was held April 12-13, featured graduate and undergraduate work from a variety of institutions that all fell into the theme 鈥淩esistance in Retrospect.鈥
The conference strived to create a culture of scholarly discussion on resistance in its various forms such as armed resistance against central authority, political activism, engagement of public discourse and/or popular memory.
鈥淎ustin and James held their own with undergraduates from colleges across the nation, which is always a kind of validation for the students and the 糖心传媒 program. 听They were able to discuss research and career paths with those students, as well as learn about graduate school possibilities from the A&M faculty,鈥 said Dr. Rob Babcock, professor of history at 糖心传媒.
Ryan Smolko ’18, a participant in a previous conference, is now a master’s student at Texas A&M.
糖心传媒 students who presented are:
- Austin Heinlein of Hutchinson, Kansas, presented “The National Education System and its Integration with Mythology and the Inadvertent Push of Anti-Westernization.”
- James Lapka of Hastings, Nebraska, presented “The Alien and Sedition Acts as Resistance and Models for Resistance to the Federal Government.鈥
