About the Authors

Yevgenia Arutyunyan graduated Davidson in May 2000 as an honors history major.  "The Treatment in Germany of the Issue of Armenian Genocide" is a chapter of her senior honors thesis. She is fascinated with this subject matter because of her own Armenian heritage and because of a deep interest in genocide studies and Germany’s role in the two world wars. She currently teaches ninth grade World Cultures at the Charlotte Country Day School in Charlotte, North Carolina and helps to coach the Model UN Club there.

Sarah Cottrell is a senior political science major at Davidson College. She wrote "‘Gone Fishing’: The European Commission and the UN Convention on Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks" for Dr. Lou Ortmayer’s Senior Colloquium in political science. She has a particular interest in international environmental issues and hopes to pursue a career in the international environmental politics after graduation.

Daniel W. Aldridge teaches African-American and modern American history at Davidson College. Professor Aldridge is interested in the interaction between African-Americans and United States foreign policy, particularly during the World War II period. He is currently studying American efforts to have the United Nations Organization structured so that it would play a meaningful role in terminating colonialism. Few studies of American foreign relations during the World War II period emphasize the role of anti-colonialism in American foreign policy. Further, African-American history and U.S. diplomatic history are often seen as totally unrelated fields. Professor Aldridge hopes that his work will make a valuable contribution by bringing anti-colonial issues to the attention of diplomatic historians and by bringing diplomatic issues to the attention of African-American historians.
