Alexander Steffanell recently published an article in the Romance Quarterly, a scholarly journal from the University of Kentucky Foreign Languages department. The article is entitled, “Violencia sexual y la construccion del otro: el caso de la madre Castillo, una mistica del Nuevo Reino de Granada.” Steffanell presented the article as a paper (a chapter from his dissertation) at a conference at the University of Kentucky in the spring semester of 2008 as part of a memorial panel for his advisor. Steffanell’s advisor died unexpectedly in the summer of 2006, and Steffanell was his last doctoral student to graduate.
Dr. Steffanell also recently returned from a week-long trip to Argentina, where the director of the Church of God seminary in Buenos Aires invited him to teach an intensive course on thesis writing. He was also able to make contacts for the cross-cultural trip to Argentina that he hopes to organize for the summer.
