  • Dr. Julio Karamán Chaparenco: "Dr Karamán examined the role of Neo-Classicism and Graeco-Roman cultural heritage in shaping social and political institutions in Uruguay in the early nineteenth century. Popular culture contested the aspirations and achievements of the ruling class thus establishing a debate the impact of which still permeates contemporary political and cultural life." (May 2011)
  • Dr. Frederick John-Maria Fajardo: "Dr. Fajardo examined the existential and phenomenological writing of the highly distinguished, albeit controversial, contemporary gay Spanish novelist and philosopher, Álvaro Pombo. In his research Dr. Fajardo showed that Pombo is above all, and despite what his critics say, a writer of great optimism and hope about the human condition." (November 2009)
  • Dr. Mi Soo Park: "Dr. Park examined the populist political program led by a group of leftist intellectuals in Argentina during the 60s. She studied the relevance of poetic discourse in a political project for its fanciful and irrational practices. Her research indicates that the political vision informed by the group's novelistic discourse undermined the explicit political program." (May 2009)
