College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Hosts Humanities Student Conference

The Department of History and Political Science and the Department of Literature and Modern Languages in NSU’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) recently hosted the Humanities Student Conference on NSU’s Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus.

The theme of the conference was “Crossroads of the Transatlantic,” and featured student presentations exploring the transatlantic convergence of cultures, ideas, and philosophies in South Florida and the Americas. There were over 90 registered participants from NSU, FIU, UM, MDC, and UF, including a student who flew in from Nebraska.  Two future Sharks also attended.

The Stolzenberg-Doan Lecture Series speaker for this year, Crystal Andrea Felima, Ph.D., was the keynote speaker. Her address was titled, “Flooding in Northern Haiti: Exploring the Manifestation of Inequalities and Agency through Narrative Research and Critical Digital Pedagogy.” In addition, NSU’s Office of Career Development offered a workshop, “How to

Apply your Skillsets in the Real World.” The conference organizers gratefully acknowledge the support of Dean Honggang Yang, Dean of CAHSS and the staff, faculty, and student workers in both departments.
