Representing 100 countries, the ISA is a scholarly association with more than 6,500 members worldwide. Its aim is to \u201ccreate communities for scholars dedicated to international studies\u201d and to \u201cprovide opportunities to exchange ideas and research.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Against this backdrop, up stepped Sydney Rebro, Rebecca Simard and Macey Woodlock to make their presentations. The Eckerd College students had been selected by a peer review process. \u201cTheir proposals were reviewed by faculty in the topic area,\u201d explains <a href=\"\/political-science\/faculty\/burch\/\">Michael Burch, Ph.D.<\/a>, associate professor of political science and faculty sponsor of the Eckerd group. \u201cThey were competing against professors and graduate students. It was not an undergraduate conference.\u201d Sydney\u2019s presentation was a result of her participation in the Ford Program, whereas Rebecca and Macey worked on projects with Professor Burch over the spring and summer as part of the inaugural Student Academic Research Fund here at Eckerd.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief synopsis of each student\u2019s presentation:<\/p>\n<p>Sydney, a senior <a href=\"\/irga\/\">international relations and global affairs<\/a> student, was born in Wisconsin and moved with her family to White River, South Africa, when she was 13. After eight years, she returned to the U.S. and went back to South Africa last summer to do research. Her presentation was on food sustainability and food insecurity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI drew my inspiration from my experiences in South Africa working with nongovernmental organizations that were set up by my parents and distributed food to children,\u201d Sydney explains.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;32&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;32&#8243; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; advanced_gradient_angle=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;padding-2-percent&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; el_class=&#8221;lg_text&#8221; advanced_gradient_angle=&#8221;0&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span class=\"accent-color\">\u201cI wanted to figure out what are sustainable solutions to food insecurity.

You have to make sure you\u2019re not telling people what they need but asking them what they need. My goal is to show that we should not be looking at where we just dump aid, but rather how to empower people with tools and skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca, a senior <a href=\"\/political-science\/\">political science<\/a> student from St. Petersburg, examined why some countries have resettled children whose parents were aligned with the Islamic State, while other countries have not. \u201cFrance had a lot of foreign fighters who left to join the Islamic State,\u201d Rebecca says. \u201cEither their parents were killed or they can\u2019t be located. That leaves the children without any citizenship. France is looking to bring back the kids, despite the association with the Islamic State.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After spending hours preparing her presentation, Rebecca says the experience was a bit overwhelming. \u201cA lot to prepare for, especially coming right after Hurricane Ian,\u201d she says. \u201cBut I was lucky that I was able to talk to all of my professors and get insight about what to expect. It\u2019s definitely a little scary, but overall the process was really enjoyable. Next time I do this I\u2019ll be a lot less nervous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Macey, a double-majoring senior international relations and global affairs and <a href=\"\/environmental-studies\/\">environmental studies<\/a> student from Crystal Lake, Illinois, addressed responses to genocide in the 21st century. \u201cMy research is about understanding why humanitarian and governmental groups respond differently to genocide in other countries,\u201d Macey explains. \u201cMy focus is on the Middle East from 2014 to 2020, but it\u2019s definitely relevant to things going on right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among her conclusions were that humanitarian groups respond much quicker than governmental groups, that the media plays an important role, and that governments often use the word \u201cgenocide\u201d as a foreign-policy tool to justify intervention in a region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe conference was a great learning opportunity,\u201d Macey says. \u201cHere were a few undergrads surrounded by all these Ph.D. students and professors. Just to be perceived as being on the same playing field \u2026 and everyone was helpful, listening and giving us feedback. It was great to see the kind of work other people in the field have done, and where we can be one day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That, Burch adds, is precisely what he was hoping to hear. \u201cI was incredibly proud of all of them,\u201d he says. \u201cThese students were presenting alongside people with years more training and experience, and yet they were able to present right alongside them and more than hold their own.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extraa-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":130,"featured_media":9138,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,64,73],"tags":[812,707,129],"class_list":{"0":"post-9123","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-academics","8":"category-international-relations-global-affairs","9":"category-political-science","10":"tag-conference","11":"tag-isa","12":"tag-michael-burch"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) -
