GABRIELLA ANGELONI-2014 Scholar major & degree: History, Ph.D. hometown: San Antonio, TX contact: gna@email.sc.edu What brought you to USC?: I was primarily drawn to South Carolina for the easy access to the archival and museum collections available in the area, as well as the colonial historians on faculty in the History Department. What do you hope to accomplish while you pursue your degree?: I hope to make connections with local and state museums and historical societies, be involved with public history and preservation efforts, and ultimately find work as a museum curator. Fun fact about yourself: I insisted we name our dogs after Banastre Tarleton (if you’ve seen The Patriot, he’s the real-life “Colonel Tavington”) and Catherine “Caty” Greene, General Nathanael Greene’s wife. Research Key Words: 18th century South Carolina, Atlantic World, personal libraries, the Enlightenment, history of the book, political history SEAN BATH-2015 Scholar major & degree: Geography, Ph.D. hometown: Charleston, SC contact: bath@sc.edu What brought you to USC?: I owe my presence at USC to the CISA lab/ program in the Geography department, which conducts the kind of work I’d love to do—helping Carolina decision makers draw connections between community decisions and climate/environmental data, especially given what changes may come. What do you hope to accomplish while you pursue your degree?: I hope to become more engaged in public policy in the state while I pursue my degree. Fun fact about yourself: I love history, but I prefer looking to the future. It’s all a part of how the larger context of change grounds my way of thinking. Research Key Words: community planning; climate change impacts; social, economic, and political processes; global change 4
BENJAMIN BELGRAD-2013 Scholar major & degree: Marine Science, Ph.D. hometown: Boardman, OH contact: babelgra@eckerd.edu What brought you to USC?: I came to USC because I liked the research here and because both the university and my adviser showed that they were going to be incredibly supportive. What do you hope to accomplish while you pursue your degree?: I hope to improve our understanding of how individual behavior is tied to changes in both one’s physiology (e.g. energy reserves, reproductive effort) and the local environment (e.g. habitat degradation). I also want to determine how behavioral changes can cause cascading effects throughout ecosystems. Fun fact about yourself: I learned to scuba dive by the age of 12. Research Key Words: marine biology, ecology, physiology, oceanography, animal behavior, personality, habitat degradation, trophic cascades, crabs, fisheries SETH BRAKE-2015 Scholar major & degree: Political Science, Ph.D. hometown: Denver, NC contact: sbrake@mail.sc.edu What brought you to USC?: Conversations with USC faculty and recommendation from undergraduate faculty. What do you hope to accomplish while you pursue your degree?: I want to become a more well-rounded scientist who has a grasp of the bigger (often interdisciplinary) picture of Political Science. Fun fact about yourself: I love strategy games. I have a hard time thinking creatively if I haven’t recently tried to outsmart someone or been outsmarted. Research Key Words: trade, power, sanctions, growth, war, development, democracy, protectionism, globalization, stability 5
