Elizabeth Plantan, PhD, assistant professor of Political Science, became the first faculty member at Stetson to be selected for the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations Public Intellectuals Program (PIP). She is one of 20 fellows to participate in the 2023-2025 cohort.
“As a Public Intellectuals Program fellow, I will participate in several United States-based workshops and one international trip — all focused on U.S.-China relations,” Plantan said.

“Our second workshop in San Francisco focused on a subnational perspective of the U.S.-China relationship,” Plantan said. “One of the highlights of that trip, for me, was a guided tour of the Angel Island Immigration Station, where we learned about the history of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and Chinese immigration to the United States.”
