Joshua Frye and Macy Suchan

Communication

Dr. Joshua Frye and Macy Suchan (student) recently published an article entitled "Nobel Peace Speech" in a special issue of the French/English international ESSACHESS Journal for Communication Studies. The special issue focuses on rhetorics of peace in public and civil discourse in contemporary global cultures. They analyze the discourse of Nobel peace speech inductively and argue that the organizing principle of the Nobel peace speech genre is the repetitive form of normative liberal principles and values that function as rhetorical topoi. These topoi include freedom and justice and appeal to the inviolable, inborn right of human beings to exercise certain political and civil liberties.

Kerri J. Malloy

Native American Studies

Kerri J. Malloy, Lecturer in Native American Studies, presented his paper “Candle Light: Memorialization in Absence of a Memorial”” as part of the Performance and Activism Working Group at the Large-Scale Violence and Its Aftermath Summer Institute (June 25-29, 2017) at Kean University in Union, New Jersey. The Institute’s purpose was twofold: to clarify the anemic performance by state actors in managing atrocity and large-scale violence and restoring confidence in social stability and security; and to consider non-state, civil-society alternatives that, in the aggregate, could move progressively forward toward securing, if not transforming, successor societies.

Leena Dallasheh

Dr. Dallasheh was invited to present a paper at UC Berkeley, entitled "Early Encounters, Future Possibilities."

This panel was a part of a series of panels organized contemporaneously at the Centers for Middle Eastern Studies at UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UC Santa Barbara on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the 1967 Middle East war, “6 Days, 50 Years: 1967 and the Politics of Time.”
