Description
This Fulbright Scholar award supports teaching and combined teaching/research at Copperbelt University, Mulungushi University, or the University of Zambia. Projects are welcomed in all disciplines. Scholars teach undergraduate and graduate courses, develop or revise curricula, mentor students and faculty, deliver seminars and workshops, and conduct research in their areas of specialization. Approximately three recipients are selected for awards lasting nine to ten months.
The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and administered in partnership with the Institute of International Education (IIE). Beyond academic work, the award aims to strengthen relationships between people in the United States and Zambia and promote international understanding. Scholars may be asked to give public talks, mentor students, and engage with their host communities alongside their primary activities.
