Dear History Readers,
I hope that you are all well. It’s raining heavily here in Burlington as I write. As always, the history department is busy with activity.
Our own Professor Bogac Ergene, co-author (with Febe Armanios) of a recent book on Halal food, was quoted just this week in the Washington Post. Follow this link for the story: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/why-halal-meat-generates-so-much-controversy-in-europe/2018/10/08/e58fd16a-9439-11e8-818b-e9b7348cd87d_story.html?utm_term=.e87108268af2
Professor Jonathan Huener, in his role as a Director of the Miller Center for Holocaust Studies, has been working hard to prepare for the Center’s triennial Miller Symposium which, this year, is on the topic of “Poland Under German Occupation, 1939-1945”.

Finally, the history department has a social media intern this semester, History and Political Science double major Kaleigh Calvao. Kaleigh is compiling all sorts of interesting information about UVM history alums. If you have a story you’d like to share about post graduate life, please e-mail it to her at kaleigh.calvao@uvm.edu.
We are always interested in hearing from interested students, faculty, alumni/ae/x, and members of the public.
Best wishes,
Paul Deslandes
Chair, Department of History
