International Opportunities for Faculty: The Fulbright
Scholar Program
Phyllis Larson, Asian Studies, Bruce Nordstrom-Loeb, Sociology, David Schodt, Economics and CILA director.
The Fulbright Scholar Program provides opportunities for U.S. scholars to lecture and do research in other countries for periods of time ranging from approximately 3 months to 1 year. At the present time, the Fulbright program actively encourages applications from faculty at liberal arts colleges. At this session, St. Olaf faculty who have held Fulbright awards will talk about their experiences, and will provide some tips from inside the review process for those who may be considering applying. The 2002-2003 application deadline for lecturing, lecturing/research, and research awards worldwide is August 1, 2001.
Phyllis Larson held a research Fulbright to Japan, Bruce Nordstrom-Loeb spent a year in Lithuania on a teaching award, and David Schodt held a research award to Ecuador and was recently appointed to a three-year term as a member of the Fulbright Senior Scholar Peer Review committee for the Andean Countries.
We will have materials about the Fulbright program available for participants. For additional information, see the Fulbright web site at http://www.iie.org/cies/us_scholars/.
