Ithaca College

Paul Hamill, who retired from the college as director of academic funding and sponsored programs in 2010, recently delivered two addresses to academic conferences in Romania, where he is a Senior Fulbright Fellow.

At Lucian Blaga University in Sibiu, where Hamill teaches American Literature and American Studies, he keynoted a national student conference, “Literature and Music,” with an address entitled “Unheard Music,” which drew on his own poetry. At Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, he took part in two panel presentations at the international conference, “Globalization in a Post-Crisis World.” His formal presentation was entitled “An American Historical Perspective on Globalization.”

A widely published poet who taught in IC’s Department of Writing, Hamill holds a doctorate in American literature from Stanford University. His wife, Kristin, who served for many years as the college’s coordinator of student publicity, is accompanying him in Romania.
