Outstanding Faculty Research Award Lecture. 2018 OFRA, Marc Gallicchio, Michael Pagano

Dr. Marc Gallicchio is a historian of U.S. foreign relations and has published most often on American-East Asian relations in the twentieth century. In writing on that subject, he has explored the connections between domestic politics, military affairs and foreign policy; the role of race in international affairs; and the function of collective memory in contemporary trans-Pacific relations. He has written three books, co-authored another, and edited a collection of scholarly essays. He has also published a variety of articles and chapters in collections of scholarly essays and served as a research fellow on the National Security Archive’s project on Power and Prosperity: Linkages between Security and Economics in US-Japanese Relations Since 1960.

During his talk today, Dr. Gallicchio will discuss his most recent book, Implacable Foes: War in the Pacific, 1944-1945 (2017), co-authored with Waldo Heinrichs, for which he was awarded the Bancroft Prize in American History and Diplomacy for 2018. The book details the controversial end of the Pacific War.

Dr. Michael Pagano is recognized for his research in the areas of financial markets and financial institutions with a focus on analyzing the efficiency, informativeness and impact of these markets and institutions on the allocation of economic resources and societal welfare. In his talk, Dr. Pagano will describe the basic economic functions of financial markets and institutions, as well as how these functions create both benefits and costs to society.  He will also show some examples from his research that demonstrate these costs and benefits in the areas of institutional investor trading, Exchange Traded Fund arbitrage, and digital currencies such as Bitcoin.

Light refreshments will be served. This event, co-sponsored by Falvey Memorial Library and the Office of the Provost, is free and open to the public. Be sure to join us to honor these two remarkable awardees!
