ALBANY, New York (May 21, 2012)—Dr. Eugene W. Grabowski, a practicing general and trauma surgeon from Vermont, USA, recently made a graduate level presentation about St. martin at the State University of New York at Albany (SUNY Albany).
“The topic of my presentation was ‘the literature, culture and politics of Saint Martin/Sint Maarten,’ highlighting the work of Lasana Sekou and the House of Nehesi Publishers (HNP),” stated Dr. Grabowski in an email to the publisher. Sekou is published by HNP.
Dr. Grabowski, MD, FACS, is pursuing his master’s degree in French at SUNY Albany. His semester studies, which concluded with the research project and PowerPoint presentation about St. Martin on May 8, 2012, were under the direction of Prof. Eloise Briere.
