After the semester concluded, Hochberg remained in the capital to intern with the <a href="http://lb.boell.org/en/foundation">Heinrich Boell-Stiftung Foundation</a>, where he conducted research on the Syrian refugee crisis and wrote a 23-page report “<a href="http://lb.boell.org/en/2019/11/08/no-longer-just-humanitarian-crisis-politicization-syrian-refugees-lebanon">No Longer Just a Humanitarian Crisis: The Politicization of Syrian Refugees in Lebanon</a>.” The report is based in part on fieldwork he carried out in Lebanon, along with secondary research. </p> <hr> <p><br> <strong>You published research on the Syrian refugee crisis. How did you become involved with this area of study?</strong></p> <p>�鶹��Ƶ and the courses that I have taken here have definitely been an essential part of the path that led to my summer research. I'm a politics and Middle Eastern studies double major, so by the time I left to study abroad in Lebanon for the spring semester of 2019, I had already taken a lot of relevant courses. Classes taught by Assistant Professor of Politics <a href="/sarah-el-kazaz">Sarah El-Kazaz</a>, Professor of Politics <a href="/eve-sandberg">Eve Sandberg</a>, and Associate Professor of History <a href="/zeinab-abul-magd">Zeinab Abul-Magd</a> were definitely among the most influential in my decision to study abroad in Lebanon, although many other professors, friends, and administrators were essential in helping me make the decisions that I've made in the past year. After I studied abroad at the American University of Beirut, I stayed in Beirut for the summer to intern with the Heinrich Boell-Stiftung foundation, which is where I did my research and wrote the paper.</p> <p><strong>You’ve worked closely with a few professors to pursue course work in Middle Eastern studies. What’s that partnership been like?</strong></p> <p>Professor Abul-Magd has been my advisor here at �鶹��Ƶ for several years, and she's definitely been my primary point person among �鶹��Ƶ's faculty, as well as a great friend. She provided a lot of logistical support and guidance in crafting my Middle East and North Africa Studies major, which is an individual major. She was also essential to the process of going abroad and finding opportunities in Beirut. I began working with Professor <a href="/steve-crowley">Steve Crowley </a>after I returned from Beirut, and he's been essential in helping me plan my next steps and a great source of advice and guidance as I prepare for post-grad life. Right now, Professor Crowley and I are doing a private reading together in which I'm writing new articles and shopping them to newspapers for publication.</p> <p><strong>The research you did on Syrian refugees was fairly extensive, particularly for an undergraduate student to complete. How did that come about? </strong></p> <p>The research question that I chose, "How did Syrian refugees in Lebanon become so politicized?" turned out to be a pretty complex topic, and a shorter piece would have risked simplifying a problem that requires a deep dive to answer effectively. The foundation was also able to get me interviews with an ex-minister of parliament, several well-known lawyers, Syrian refugees, and a lot of civil society professionals, so it took quite a lot of writing to channel all of those perspectives. Lastly, the research component was the primary aspect of my internship, so in a two-month period I had plenty of time to dive into professional research interviews and secondary literature analysis.</p> <p><strong>How did your position with the foundation aid your research?</strong></p> <p>The Heinrich-Boell Foundation provided me with a living stipend and expenses for travel to and from research interviews, but beyond the funding they also provided a lot of guidance and connections that I used in my work. For example, they connected me to their network of NGOs and refugee-support professionals throughout the country so that I could include expert perspectives in my paper. They also helped connect me with Syrian refugees who they support as a foundation so that I could include their anecdotal experiences. The head of the Boell-Stiftung office in Beirut, Joachim Paul, was my supervisor and primary editor, and the whole thing would have been impossible without his guidance and support.</p> <p><strong>What’s on the horizon for you?</strong></p> <p>I have lots of plans to continue researching and writing about human security topics in the Middle East. For example, I recently started writing a <a href="https://oberlinreview.org/staff_profile/leo-hochberg/">weekly column</a> in the <em>�鶹��Ƶ Review </em>about the Middle East and international security, and I'm also writing a longer research paper for my private reading with Professor Crowley about prospects for justice for victims of ISIS in Iraq and Syria, which I hope to submit for publication in an undergraduate journal of international politics or Middle Eastern studies next semester. Lastly, I plan to spend winter term in Istanbul doing a new research project for a Turkish think tank. So, there are a lot of opportunities on the table.</p></div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Campus News</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2019-11-25T12:00:00Z">Mon, 11/25/2019 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Communications Staff</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2410">Students</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2376">Study Away</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-programs field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25446">Middle East and North Africa Studies</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25416">Politics</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-faculty field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/steve-crowley" hreflang="und">Steve Crowley</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/zeinab-abul-magd" hreflang="und">Zeinab Abul-Magd</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-departments field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/politics" hreflang="und">Politics</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-caption field--type-string-long field--label-hidden field__item">Leo Hochberg, senior politics and Middle Eastern studies double major.</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Tanya Rosen-Jones ’97</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Former Ambassador Kathleen Stephens to Speak on U.S.-Korean Relations</h1> <p>anagy — Fri, 15 Feb 2019 19:36:31 +0000</p> <span>Former Ambassador Kathleen Stephens to Speak on U.S.-Korean Relations</span> <span><span>anagy</span></span> <span><time datetime="2019-02-15T14:36:31-05:00" title="Friday, February 15, 2019 - 14:36">Fri, 02/15/2019 - 14:36</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Kathleen Stephens, the former ambassador to South Korea from 2009-2011, will give a talk with crucial insights on the upcoming U.S.-North Korea summit as part of her campus visit March 7-8 during the Global Issues Symposium.</p> <p>Stephens is part of a panel discussion on “Militarizing East Asia” that includes Sheila A. Smith, senior fellow for Japan studies with the Council of Foreign Relations, and Jeffrey Wasserstrom, professor of history at University of California Irvine, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Thursday, March 7.</p> <p>The campus community will have an opportunity to hear more about Stephens’ career as a diplomat as well as her expertise on the relations between the United States and Northeast Asia in a separate guest event at 10 a.m. Friday, March 8, in Nancy Schrome Dye Lecture Hall. The talk will be moderated by Professor of East Asian studies Sheila Miyoshi Jager and Visiting Assistant Professor of History Jiyul Kim.</p> <p>Stephens’ visit is timely because it is scheduled one week after President Trump’s second summit with North Korean Leader Kim Jong-un that will take place February 27-28 in Vietnam. In the talk moderated by Jager and Kim, Stephens will discuss the outcome of the summit and its implications for the future of peace Northeast Asia.</p> <p>Kim says he is thrilled to bring Stephens to �鶹��Ƶ because she is one of the foremost experts on the region, especially on the Koreas. Stephens has a long career in foreign service, beginning as a Peace Corps volunteer in rural Korea in the 1970s. She has held positions at U.S. embassies and consulates in China, Trinidad and Tobago, Serbia, Croatia, the United Kingdom, Portugal, and South Korea. She was ambassador to South Korea from 2009 to 2011.</p> <p>Following her ambassadorship, Stephens was a research fellow with Stanford University’s Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center. She is now president and CEO of the Korea Economic Institute, a think tank in Washington, D.C., that focuses on U.S.-South Korean relations and the South Korean political economy. </p> <p>Kim says Stephens was highly regarded by the Korean people during her ambassadorship. “She spoke the language and embraced the people and the culture, insisting on using the Korean name she adopted while in the Peace Corps. To this day, she is more familiar to South Koreans by her Korean name, Shim Eun-gyeong. We could not have asked for a more qualified person to talk about the Koreas. Her life and career will be inspirational to �鶹��Ƶ students.”</p> <p>The event is sponsored by the �鶹��Ƶ College dean’s office, International Studies, the East Asian studies, history, and politics departments, and the �鶹��Ƶ Korean Student Association.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Campus News</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2019-02-15T12:00:00Z">Fri, 02/15/2019 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Communications Staff</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2390">Events</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2363">Academics & Research</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-programs field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25381">History</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25416">Politics</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25336">East Asian Studies</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-faculty field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/jiyul-kim" hreflang="und">Jiyul Kim</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/sheila-miyoshi-jager" hreflang="und">Sheila Miyoshi Jager</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-departments field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/history" hreflang="und">History</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/politics" hreflang="und">Politics</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/arts-and-sciences/departments/east-asian-studies" hreflang="und">East Asian Studies</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-caption field--type-string-long field--label-hidden field__item">Kathleen Stephens, former ambassador to South Korea</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-pin-school-page field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">Off</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Courtesy of �鶹��Ƶ College</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Rising Second Year Earns Top Honors at Duathlon World Qualifier</h1> <p>hhempste — Thu, 06 Jul 2017 19:56:50 +0000</p> <span>Rising Second Year Earns Top Honors at Duathlon World Qualifier</span> <span><span>hhempste</span></span> <span><time datetime="2017-07-06T15:56:50-04:00" title="Thursday, July 6, 2017 - 15:56">Thu, 07/06/2017 - 15:56</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>A dedicated runner, <a href="http://www.goyeo.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=4743&mobile=skip">Duncan Reid</a> appreciates the physical challenges that come with being a member of the varsity men’s cross country team. But after an illness last fall semester interrupted his training for several weeks, Reid wanted to get back into running condition.</p> <p>“I found I couldn't lose the weight I needed to just by running, especially in the winter,” says Reid. He then turned his attention to the world of multisport—a family of competitions that involve multiple athletic disciplines. It was something that he participated in during high school but had taken a hiatus from after an injury. By training for three sports instead of just one, Reid found the rigor needed to improve his physical health and reignited his passion for sports beyond running.</p> <p>This summer, <a href="https://www.teamusa.org/USA-Triathlon/News/Articles-and-Releases/2017/June/18/Top-Age-Group-Athletes-Claim-Team-USA-Spots-at-Duathlon-Draft-Legal-World-Qualifier-in-Bend">Reid secured top honors</a> at the 2017 USA Triathlon Draft-Legal Duathlon World Qualifier held on June 18, 2017 in Bend, Oregon. The politics major from Palos Verdes Estates, California, finished first in his 15-19 age group in a competition that includes a five-kilometer run, two-lap, draft-legal 20-kilometer bike, and 2.5-kilometer run. The win at in the World Qualifier grants him a spot on Team USA for the 2018 International Triathlon Union Multisport World Championships Festival held in Odense, Denmark. Reid also gave a strong performance in the non-drafting Sprint-Distance Duathlon National Championships held that same weekend, where he won the national title for men ages 15-19 and placed fifth overall.</p> <p>On the heels of these wins, Reid intends to cultivate a multisport community at �鶹��Ƶ. “I look forward to starting an �鶹��Ƶ triathlon team and representing my college on the national stage against large universities. The largest challenge will be to recruit �鶹��Ƶ students to take up triathlon and join its supportive community.” Reid stresses that students’ participation can be just for fun. “Not everyone has to race competitively.”</p> <p>Later this summer, Reid will continue his multisport competition at the National Triathlon Championships in West Chester, Ohio, the World Duathlon Championships in Penticton, British Columbia, and the Junior National Series Races held in Monroe, Washington, and West Des Moines, Iowa.</p> <p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br> </p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item">Campus News</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field__item"><time datetime="2017-07-06T12:00:00Z">Thu, 07/06/2017 - 12:00</time> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Hillary Hempstead</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2771">Athletics</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?tag=2418">Student-Athlete</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-programs field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/news?program=25416">Politics</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-caption field--type-string-long field--label-hidden field__item">Politics major Duncan Reid secured top honors at the 2017 USA Triathlon Draft-Legal Duathlon World Qualifier held on June 18, 2017 in Bend, Oregon.</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-photo-gallery-top field--type-boolean field--label-hidden field__item">false</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-image-credit field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Rich Cruse (USA Triathlon)</div> <div class="field field--name-field-news-media field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> </div> </article> <article> <h1>Professor Ron Kahn Gives Constitution Day Talk</h1> <p>Anonymous — Mon, 07 Nov 2016 18:20:22 +0000</p> <span>Professor Ron Kahn Gives Constitution Day Talk</span> <span><span>Anonymous (not verified)</span></span> <span><time datetime="2016-11-07T13:20:22-05:00" title="Monday, November 7, 2016 - 13:20">Mon, 11/07/2016 - 13:20</time> </span> <div class="text-content field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>�鶹��Ƶ College will observe Constitution Day with a lecture by Ron Kahn, James Monroe Professor of Politics and Law. </p> <p>Kahn will present "Why Does a Conservative/Moderate Supreme Court on a Conservative Age Expand Individual Rights?: Same-Sex Marriage, Guns, and Obamacare” at 4:30 p.m. Monday, October 13, in Hallock Auditorium. Constitution Day commemorates the 1787 signing of the United States Constitution.</p> <p>Why does the Supreme Court expand individual rights even during less progressive periods of our nation’s history, and will such rights last? For the past three decades, Kahn’s research has centered on the expansion of individual rights under the courts and the Supreme Court’s use of “lived lives” of persons in its decision-making processes. </p> <p>Asking important questions about signature issues of our time, Kahn will discuss the legal implications and projected longevity of gay marriage, the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act, the Second Amendment, and he will examine how the legal process of the Supreme Court differs from the political process of Congress and the presidency.</p> <p>Kahn is the newly appointed Erwin N. Griswold ’25 Chair in Politics and Law. A specialist on constitutional law, legal theory, and American political development, Kahn has published several books and articles on the Supreme Court, constitutional law and theory, and American political development.</p> <p>He teaches courses on constitutional law, the Supreme Court, and American political development.
