Austin Peay State University freshman MaKenna Huhnke is working on a paper with Dr. Osvaldo Di Paolo Harrison about the Latinx community. The paper is titled "Decolonizing the Latinx Experience and Healing the Wounds of Modern Coloniality in Wild Tongues Can't Be Tamed." The paper's thesis is "The Latinx diaspora stories in Wild Tongues Can't Be Tamed reveals the wounds that the Latinx community bears due to the persistence of modern coloniality regarding culture, gender and race. At the same time, these stories empower the need of decolonial thinking and epistemic disobedience." Di Paolo Harrison has applied for a Student Academic Success Initiative grant so Huhnke and he can present the paper at the International Conference on Language, Literature and Culture from Oct. 17-18 in Orlando, Florida. Huhnke is a first-year, first-generation student at Austin Peay State University who intends to major in Spanish. She's in the APSU Honors Program and a proud member of the Governor's Own Marching Band (GOMB) as a trumpet player. She hopes to become a drum major for GOMB. She graduated last year from West Creek High School in Clarksville, Tennessee.

Several members of the Austin Peay State University Honors Program and President's Emerging Leaders Program (PELP) traveled to East Tennessee State University earlier this month to present their research and expertise at the Tennessee Collegiate Honors Council (TCHC) annual meeting. During this year's meeting, three students presented their work, and Dr. Tim Winters, director of the APSU Honors and PELP programs, was elected the new TCHC president. The students and the topics they presented included: Mara Howell, a sophomore business major and honors student, "The Digital Divide: The Foot on Rural America's Neck." Zoe Huffman, a freshman English major and Honors and PELP student, "Gender Inequality around the World." Jessica White, a sophomore English major and Honors and PELP student, "Psychopathy vs. Sociopathy in the works of Edgar Allan Poe." "Our students did a fantastic job, and I am very proud of them," Winters said. And now that he is president, Austin Peay will host the TCHC meeting in the spring of 2023.
