Giuseppe Faustini, professor of Italian, published a scholarly article, Niccol簷 Machiavelli: Belfagor in Machiavelliana, An International Journal of Machiavelli Studies (Vol. II, 2023, Pisa-Roma, pp.17). This study on Machiavellis Belfagor traces the history and development of the Belfagorian theme from its earliest Eastern oral legends and fables to Western written folktales, to Medieval exempla, as well as the Sicilian novella Lu diavulu zuppiddu, the Latin De daemone uxorem recusante, Dantes Inferno XVI, Jehan Le F癡vres mid-15th century old French Les Lamentations de Matheolus, and the four major Italian versions published in mid-16th-century Italy.

Tammy C. Owens, professor of American studies, was invited to be the Women's History Month guest speaker for on March 23. Owens talk was titled "Telling Her-Stories in the Dark: Transgressing Fear, Race, and Place to Be Women in the American South." Drawing on her current book research, Owens told the stories of three haunting geographies that black girls and women have navigated to save their own lives and those in their southern communities.

Dennis Schebetta, assistant professor of theater, gave a presentation at the Mid-America Theater Conference in Minneapolis titled Do Robots Dream of Electric Audiences? The insurmountable task of staging Heddatron.

Rodrigo Schneider, assistant professor of economics, co-authored a paper published in the Journal of Interpersonal Violence. The paper evaluates the impact of a policy in Brazil that imposed criminal sanctions on and promoted rehabilitation programs for known perpetrators of acts of domestic violence exclusively against women and we found that the law contributed to a 22% reduction in assault-related hospitalizations among women as compared with men.
