Stacey Vanderhurst
Identity in Refuge: The Distinct Experiences of Asylum Seekers in Ireland [Download PDF] [show/hide pdf]
Stacey Vanderhurst is a senior Anthropology and International Peace Studies double major graduating with the Class of 2007. While studying at Trinity College Dublin for her junior year, she became fascinated with the recent rise in migration into Ireland and its effects on the Irish identity. Meanwhile, on a Notre Dame-sponsored field trip to the west coast of Ireland, she met an Irish archaeologist who also happened to be the owner/manager of an accommodation center for asylum seekers. The rest is history. She will continue to pursue her interests in migration, transnationalism, and multiculutralism in a Ph.D. program in Anthropology this fall.
Megan Teigen
Woolf's Modernism: Ambivalence of Identity in Mrs. Dalloway and "Street Haunting" [Download PDF] [show/hide pdf]
Megan Teigen is a senior English and American Studies double major. She is especially interested in representations of urban landscapes in literature. Cities such as Chicago, New York and London, where she spent a semester studying abroad, have been the main focus of her work. Her article grew out of a shorter paper written last spring for a class she took while in London, where, like Virginia Woolf, she spent much of her time exploring the city. As part of the English Honors Concentration, Megan is in the process of writing her Honors Thesis, which will discuss the economic sublime in turn-of-the-century Chicago. She hopes the experience will prepare her for future research on urban literature in graduate school. Next fall, she plans to move to Chicago, where she will study in the University of Chicago’s Master of Arts Program in the Humanities. Eventually, she hopes to earn her Ph.D. and become a university professor.
