Carolyn Phillips ’25, a Political Science major at Elmira College, recently traveled with Dr. Jim Twombly, Professor of Political Science, and Autumn Walden, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice, to Staten Island, New York to attend the New York State Political Science Association (NYSPSA) Annual Meeting. At the meeting they presented their paper, The Conch Republic and Beyond: Local Secession Movements in Law and American Politics.
The paper was well-received and Palgrave Macmillan Publishing asked for a proposal for the project's inclusion in the Palgrave Pivot series.
This was the first time Walden and Phillips presented original work during an academic conference.
"What a wonderful opportunity it was to meet scholars in person, some of whom I've heard discussed in class," said Phillips.
"I came away inspired to continue this project and begin others," added Walden.
While there, Twombly participated in a "Meet the Authors" panel where he and his co-author, Dr. Lisa K. Parshall of Daemen University, discussed their recent publication, Directing the Whirlwind: Deconstruction, Distrust, and the Future of American Democracy. Additionally, Twombly was elected to his fourth term as Vice President of NYSPSA at the meeting of the Executive Board.
Alumnus Adam Pontius ’12 also attended the conference and presented a paper titled, Which Wilson? Anti-imperialism, Race and Sovereignty at the Paris Peace Conference.
