The annual symposium organised by a group of students in the International Studies programme, with the auspicious help of Professor Mazzeo is probably the best opportunity that undergraduates students at York have to engage in original research. During the summer, the students travel to their country of choice and collect data on their research subject. Throughout the year, not only do they organise a highly respected conference, but they author excellent essays using the research that they collected. The loftiest of places recognise the Symposium’s importance, Harvard was plugging the Turkey symposium in 2007. The 2004 report by the Association of Canadian Colleges and Universities recognised the Symposium as a winning model of internationalisation in Canadian schools.
The 2005-2006 symposium on Mexico published Across Borders: Diverse Perspectives on Mexico, a collections essays of the members of the organising committee and was edited by two organisers, Jessica Perkins and Karen Campbell. The book is held at university libraries throughout North America.
The 2002 symposium on Brazil was also incredibly successful. It published Brazil: The Emergence of a World Power edited by Rosana Barbosa and Domenico Mazzeo, and was awarded the Student Leadership in Internationalization Award from the Canadian Bureau of International Education. Russia also had the students essays published in Russia: The Challenge of Change.
Undergraduate publishing at Glendon has a fairly lengthy tradition. It seems to have slowed down in recent years, Iran 2009-2010 may turn out to be a new inertia in undergraduate publishing at Glendon.
