Dear TSOA Faculty:
I am writing to inform you about some exciting opportunities for this year’s Fulbright competition for 2013-2014. Every year, Fulbright scholars from across the United States engage in activities that illuminate the “American experience” for other countries and cultures, from teaching African American History in China, to discussing American public education trends in Japan. By defining and participating in projects that delve beneath the surface of topical issues, Fulbright scholars consistently transcend brief cultural encounters by facilitating meaningful exchanges of ideas and fostering mutual understanding, in accordance with the philosophy set forth by Senator Fulbright himself.
Due to your disciplinary expertise and interest in topics involving the United States, we encourage you to consider the following awards in the corresponding countries:
