The Past and the Present

Two of the new U.S. Fulbright Scholars to Romania recently presented papers at the 15th International Conference on Language, Literature, and Cultural Policies hosted by the University of Craiova. Following the conference's theme "The Past in the Present," Dr. Rick St. Peter of Clemson University and currently assigned to Craiova gave the opening keynote address about the Broadway musical Hamilton entitled "The Ten Dollar Founding Father: Lin-Manuel Miranda, Alexander Hamilton, and the Continuing Revolution of America." Later in the afternoon, Dr. David McTier of Sam Houston State University and currently assigned to Bucharest presented a paper entitled "SHqIP: The Vietnam Project," which chronicled his experience directing at the National Theatre of Kosovo during his first Fulbright grant.
