Kendall Allen (Texas State ’20) and Ileane Marquez (Texas State ’20) have had their research papers “‘For Their Greatest Good’: Education as a Diplomatic Tool in Negotiations with Native Peoples,” and “The Right to Intervene: European Non-Interference and U.S. Aggression in Latin America,” respectively, published in volume 28 of the the FCH Annals: Journal of the Florida Conference of Historians.
Allen’s work was submitted to the peer-reviewed, scholarly publication after it won the prestigious J. Calvitt Clarke II Award for best undergraduate paper at the Annual Meeting of the Florida Conference of Historians in Lake City, Florida, in February. Dr. Scott Heerman from the University of Miami called Kendall’s research “ambitious, well-polished, and thought provoking.”
Marquez and Allen both presented their papers at the conference with another Texas State Student, Hannah Thompson. Allen was a double-major in History and Political Science and now teaches 9th-grade World Geography in Mathis, Texas. Marquez currently studies in the Political Science Department’s Legal Studies graduate program.
