JESSICA NAMAKKAL
PROFESSOR OF THE PRACTICE
INTERNATIONAL COMPARATIVE STUDIES
DUKE UNIVERSITY
Dr. Jessica Namakkal, who is an Assistant
Professor of the Practice in the International
Comparative Studies Program at Duke University,
is the keynote speaker for the faculty
interdisciplinary symposium and student research
conference.
Dr. Namakkal earned a B.A in history from the
University of Southern California and a Ph.D. in
history from the University of Minnesota. Her
research interests include decolonization in the
twentieth century, with a focus on the colonial,
decolonial, and post-colonial relationships
between England, France, and India.
Dr. Namakkal is the author of “The Terror of
Decolonization: Exploring Pondicherry’s Goonda Raj” in Interventions and “European Dreams,
Tamil Land: Auroville and the Paradox of a Post-Colonial Utopia” in the Journal for the Study of
Radicalism. She has also written for Counterpunch on topics that include renaming as
decolonization; study abroad as neo-colonial tourism; and sexual violence, protests, and neocolonial state control.
Dr. Namakkal’s is currently revising her dissertation, “Transgressing the Boundaries of Nation:
Decolonization, Migration, and Identity between France and India, 1900-1972,” for publication.
It “seeks to expand understandings of decolonization from an isolated relationship between
metropole and colony to a global context.” She is also exploring “the roots of mass
incarceration” in a project entitled “States of Incarceration: A National Dialogue of Local
Histories.”
Namakkal was a Diversity Teaching Fellow at the University of Minnesota, where she received
the Kim J. Mullholland Prize in European History, the Hella Mears Graduate Fellowship in
European Studies, and the Language Fellowship for Tamil Study in India.

‘Neath her skies so blue,
Stands our noble Alma Mater,
Glorious to view.
By Meherrin’s rippling waters
Where the sunbeams play,
We, her loyal sons and daughters,
Pledge our love for aye.
With her classic walls and columns
Looks she proudly down.
Reared against the arch of heaven,
With the stars for crown.
Praise to her! God grant His blessings,
May He give rich store.
Chowan we will ever cherish
Love her ever more.

The HONORS COLLEGE is designed to offer attractive and challenging opportunities for
intellectual growth to well-prepared and highly motivated students.
The PRESIDENT’S LIST and DEAN’S LIST are awarded every semester based upon the
semester grade point average earned that semester. The President’s List requires a 3.80 or higher.
The Dean’s List is 3.25 to 3.79.
Each year, a select group of students is called forward to accept one of the most prestigious
awards the academic and student life community can bestow — selection to WHO’S WHO
AMONG STUDENTS IN AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES.
LEADERSHIP SCHOLARS are a select group of students who have demonstrated exemplary
leadership, academic achievement, and service prior to their enrollment at Chowan.
PRESIDENTIAL AMBASSADORS promote the positive image of the University by engaging
student leaders to represent the Office of the President at designated events and leadership
development opportunities. Members of this group are highly-skilled and experienced student leaders
selected to represent the University on a volunteer basis.
COMMENCEMENT MARSHALS are selected from those members of the junior class (2014
cohort) with the highest grade point average.
The CHOWAN UNIVERSITY STUDENT RESEARCH CONFERENCE AWARDS OF
EXCELLENCE honor students for outstanding presentations in each one of the conference's
eight divisions. By the quality of their participation, these students exemplify what is best in the
intellectual and artistic life of Chowan University.

The ORDER OF THE SILVER FEATHER is an honorary service fraternity, the purpose of
which is to give recognition to those students who have been especially outstanding in their
service to the campus community and whose loyalty to Chowan University has been extremely
noteworthy. The recipient of the Estelle Thigpen Superior Citizenship Award is automatically
inducted. Not more than five additional students are selected each year, these having been
nominated by members of the faculty and staff.
The FAITH IN YOUR FUTURE AWARD is presented annually to a student who best
exemplifies the university’s mission and vision by consistently demonstrating the ability to
achieve his or her greatest potential in learning and service to the Chowan community.
The MERIT AWARD is presented to a graduating senior judged to have achieved at a high
academic level in spite of obstacles which would have deterred or defeated a less determined or
devoted individual.
The ESTELLE THIGPEN SUPERIOR CITIZENSHIP AWARD is provided to recognize
that student who has been an outstanding citizen within the university community throughout the
year. This award is given for the contribution of time, effort and energy for the benefit of the
student body.
The BEST ALL AROUND STUDENT must be a graduating senior who has achieved
academically, excelled in extra-curricular activities, exhibited leadership ability among his or her
fellow students, and sought to attain the ideals – academic and otherwise – for which the
university stands.
The recipient of the ALPHA CHI TEACHER OF THE YEAR AWARD is chosen by students
of the university. Selection is based on such factors as dedication to the profession and to
students, effectiveness as a teacher, continued professional growth, availability to students,
participation in the university’s program of extracurricular activities, and relationship with
colleagues and students.
