  subject matter experts

  and students. Participated in a series of government

  organization and non-profit meetings

  including the Supreme Committee for Delivery and legacy (the FIFA 2022 Organizing body)\n\nWe conducted field research

  Nationalism on the World Stage: Cultural Performance at the Olympic Games

  Beyond the realm of sports and spectacle

  states host the Olympic Games for political

  social

  and cultural reasons. In particular

  organizers have used the Olympics as an opportunity to redefine and reassert their national identities through performance. The hosts present an artistic rendering of their national identity to domestic and international audiences through the pageantry of the opening and closing ceremonies. \nNationalism on the World Stage examines the relationship between nationalism and the Olympics by weaving together current understandings of nationalism and applying these notions to displays of national identity at Olympic ceremonies from 1980 to 2006. Using tactics such as historical revision

  indoctrination

  and custodianship

  hosts of the Games have re-told their official state identities and histories through performances. Through examples including the United States

  Canada

  Norway

  Russia

  Spain

  and Japan

  Philip A. D'Agati establishes a new scope of nationalism

  cultural performance

  and international festival and provides new insights into studies of nationalism.

  In 2012 I returned to the Dialogue of Civilizations Program (DOC) I helped start 10 years earlier by taking over the Japan Dialogue for my colleague Bruce Wallin. I organized and faculty led the program to Japan from 2012 - 2016 and organized the program but did not lead it for 2017. I doubled the program's student attendance and tripled its applicant pool. Each of my programs ran several thousand dollars in the black and were positively reviewed by student participants. \n\nDuring my absence

  the Japan Dialogue developed a reverse-dialogue where students from Japan came to Boston. I adopted this program in 2012 and assisted or facilitated it until 2017. I managed all aspects of the relationship between our Meiji University

  our partner institution in Japan

  and Northeastern. \n\nIn addition to the Japan program

  I provided program development assistance to other faculty

  developed a program to Australia

  New Zealand

  and Fiji

  and served on the Global Experience Office's DOC faculty advisory council from 2015 - 2016 and the DOC Finance & Operations committee in 2016.

• 2009

  In Fall 2009 I led an effort to establish a Model NATO Program at Northeastern University. Working with student and department representatives

  we drafted a proposal creating a Model NATO Program

  \nidentifying and then receiving funds for the Program for a two year trial

  and developing an accompanying course to support the new learning environment. \n\nThe program and curriculum was approved and launched in Fall 2010 for participation in the 2011 International Model NATO Conference in DC. I taught a new Model NATO Course in the fall

  co-organized a Joint Cabinet Crisis Simulation program on campus for approximately 80 students and then selected and trained a team of 19 students to travel to DC. Students represented two countries (Belgium & Hungary)

  visited their Embassies

  and participated in three days of competition. Our Belgian team came in 2nd place and our Hungarian team came in 4th place

  out of approximately 27 teams.\n\nThe team and I met with the Dean of the College and the President of the University as a result of their performance. The President challenged us to take first place.\n\nIn 2012

  the team's fall program grew from approximately 80 to 120 students. We adjusted curriculum and training based on our experience in 2011. The team's travel delegation remained the same size and came in 1st and 5th place.\n\nIn Fall 2012

  the Department and the Student leadership agreed to maintain the program and increase its travel size. That spring

  23 students travelled. The team's two delegations tied each other for First Place.\n\nFor Spring 2014

  the Team's previous excellent performances earned them two chairships in the conference's secretariat (one of only two schools to have that honor) and additional funding grew the delegation to 28 students. The delegations took 1st and 3rd place.\n\nThe program became a permanent part of the Curriculum in the Department of Political Science and in the travel program of the NU International Relations Council.\n\n

  The Dialogue of Civilizations during this time was a Faculty-Led Program that took students abroad for a period of 2-4 weeks. The program's goal was to create a learning environment between students from two different states/cultures during which students interacted in a variety of academic

  social

  and extra-curricular opportunities. Students from Northeastern also conducted site visits

  government and political meetings

  and met with in-country scholars. \n\nTwo colleagues and I created the program in 2002 as a replacement for the United Nations Association of NU's annual conference trip to Cairo. I co-created and reviewed the program in 2002

  assistant-faculty led the program in 2003 and co-organized the 2004 - 06 programs. Additionally

  I consulted on the creation of the 2nd Dialogue program (to China) in 2004 and the 4th program (to Japan) in 2006. \n\nThe program has since grown to over 40 opportunities each year

  traveling hundreds of students to countries all across the globe.

  I served on the Organizing Committee's for Merrimack College's 50th Anniversary celebration. In that role

  I worked as the archival historian on the book Merrimack College: The First Fifty Years. I also helped plan events in the McQuade Library's gallery and for the Anniversary Mass at the end of the academic year. \n\nIn my role as Editor-in-Chief of the Argus Student Newspaper

  I teamed with the planning committee and ran a series of special supplements in the Campus Newspaper highlighting the history of the University. The Series required interviewing all the still living Founders of Merrimack College

  working with the College's senior administration

  the Archdiocese of Boston

  the headquarters of the Augustinian Order at Villanova University. The series started in the 96/97 academic year and went a full year ending in the 97/98 academic year. It was followed in that academic year with a celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Student Newspaper and the 30th Anniversary of the College Library. I also arranged for the visit of two founders to Merrimack College as part of the series and other 50th Anniversary events. \n\nThe Argus Newspaper received the Student Organization of the Year award in the Spring of 1998.\nI received the Merrimack Medal for Outstanding Service at Graduation for this and other projects and student leadership while at Merrimack College.\n\n

  During the Cold War

  states found alternative means of warring with each other to meet foreign policy goals. Sports competitions

  including the right to host events

  transformed from celebratory competitions to surrogates for warfare. The battles to host the 1976

  and 1984 Summer Olympics became highly symbolic opportunities for conflict as the two superpowers fought to prove who could provide a better Olympic experience. Using a framework of political theory

  D'Agati explains the Soviet boycott of 1984 as the result of a complex series of events and policies that culminated in a strategic decision to not participate in Los Angeles. Original and comprehensive

  The Cold War and the 1984 Olympic Games is a significant study for scholars of international relations

  Soviet and US histories

  sports studies

  and anyone interested in the unique politics of the Olympic Games.

  Cold War and the 1984 Olympic Games: A Soviet-American Surrogate War

  States seek avenues of international conflict to satisfy domestic and foreign policy aims within an anarchic world system. The methods of conflict have changed from century to century to encompass different methods of attaining state objectives. Today there exists a lacuna in terms of international contestation in less traditional avenues of state conflict

  such as sports competitions and technological development. Extant theories on international relations have broadened their scope to include arms races

  economic sanctions

  cyber conflict

  and other ‘new’ methods of interstate conflict. This study adds to current literature and theoretical trends by shaping a theory on surrogate war that examines state conflict manifested through international contest. While the possible applications are quite broad

  this study offers plausibility probes in international sports policy and space policy to demonstrate the application and versatility of surrogate war.\n

  Surrogate war: politics of conflict in sports and space

  While teaching as an adjunct at Merrimack College

  I developed a Model Arab League Program for their Political Science department. I partnered with the department's Model United Nations team

  offered training sessions to interested students and coordinated their participation in the Northeast Regional Model Arab League conference.\n\nWorking with the conference hosts and the Merrimack College Department of Political Science

  I was able to get registration fees waived and travel expenses covered by the Provost's office. A team of 7 students participated. One student received an award.\n\nThe following year

  I developed and taught a course on Politics of the Middle east. Students from the course partnered with students from the Model United Nations team

  doubling the size of the delegation. The team's performance improved

  earning them an overall delegation award. Based on the performance in the previous year

  the school agreed to cover the travel costs and the students paid their own delegate fees. \n\nThe success of the team was noted by conference organizers and Merrimack College was offered a partial delegation slot at the National Model Arab League conference in DC. Approximately 5 students travelled to DC

  where I advised them on location. They won a few awards and were invited back the following year.
