Teresa Lazzari

My name is Teresa Lazzari and I am currently in my junior year as a mathematical economics major here at the University of Kentucky, where I will graduate in May of 2017 and pursue a career as an actuary.  I was born and raised in Florence, KY where I graduated from Boone County High School class of 2013. My parents, Jim and Mary Lazzari have four children, I being the youngest.  My oldest brother, Blake is currently married to his high school sweetheart, Becky and are living in Dubai for a couple of years due to work.  My other brother, Nick is currently in Indiana working on his PGA certification at a golf course.  My sister, Gina is graduating this May from nursing school here at UK, where she will be working post-graduation. My sister and I live together down here in Lexington. I am an active member of Kappa Delta Sorority on campus, where I spend most of my time. Being in a sorority takes up a lot of my time outside of class, but I still manage to keep up personal hobbies such as running, drawing and playing with dogs.

Timothy Melley talk - "Security State Allegory"

This talk argues that “state allegory” has become a dominant narrative form for the critical representation of American empire and U.S. foreign policy. Allegory is of course a familiar method for representing international relations, but it flourished in the decade after September 11, 2001 as a way of interrogating the strange conditions of public knowledge and citizenship in the War on Terror.





Timothy Melley is Professor of English and Director of the Humanities Center at Miami University. He is the author of many essays and two books, Empire of Conspiracy: The Culture of Paranoia in Postwar America (Cornell 2000), and The Covert Sphere: Secrecy, Fiction, and the National Security State (Cornell 2012). His work has been covered by The Nation, The L.A. Times, Scientific American, The Village Voice, Le Figaro, The Wall Street Journal, the BBC, Canadian Public Television, and NPR, and his fiction has been featured on “This American Life.”

Tech Tips From the Hive

We continue to move forward on our transition to the Office 365 mail system.  Overall, the UK migration is 11% completed, while the college is still just starting out at 3%.  All of the Hive mailboxes were migrated a few weeks ago with only minor disruptions on the morning when the transition was finalized.  We will move on to the rest of A&S soon, migrating only a few departments at a time so that we have time to help address any problems that crop up with access on mobile devices or through Outlook.
