Stoica Lascu

Stoica Lascu was born on 18 June 1951 in the village of Râmnicu de Jos, Constanța County, Romania.

[3] Lascu obtained a doctorate in history from the University of Bucharest in 2000 with the thesis Romanitatea balcanică în conștiința societății românești până la Primul Război Mondial ("Balkan Romanness in the consciousness of Romanian society until the First World War"), written under the direction of the Romanian historian Stelian Brezeanu [ro].

[1] By repartition of the Romanian communist government,[3] Lascu was appointed teacher at the Camena General School in Baia, Tulcea County, where he taught from 1974 to 1975.

Lascu has been enrolled in the staff of the Ovidius University of Constanța since 1 September 1992, first as lecturer from 1992 to 2004 and then as associate professor since 2004.

In the chapter Repere în timp ("Highlights in time"), Lascu gives a vivid image of Constanța in the past through the testimonies of travellers, Romanians or not.

He also describes the incorporation of Northern Dobruja into Romania in 1878, embellishing the event and making use of a "vibrant", "uplifting" language to recount it.

In 1996, Lascu showed great admiration and enthusiasm for the Mircea cel Bătrân National College in Constanța and its graduate students in a special issue of the cultural magazine România de la Mare ("Romania of the Sea") dedicated to the centenary of the college's founding.

On 23 November 2007, he received the Remus Opreanu Title from the Constanța County Prefecture for his "contribution in the field of local history".

On 19 July 2008, he received the Nicolae Iorga Award from the SȘIR for his 2007 work Од историjата на ароманскиот печат во Македонија.

The event included a conference on Dobruja and on "Carpatho-Ponto-Balkan Romanianism", and took place with the blessing of Teodosie Petrescu, Archbishop of Tomis.
