Description
This Fulbright Scholar Award enables U.S. academics and professionals to undertake teaching, research, or a combination of both at Copperbelt University, Mulungushi University, or the University of Zambia. Scholars may design and teach undergraduate and graduate courses, assist with curriculum development, mentor faculty and students, present seminars and public lectures, and conduct independent research in their area of specialization. Projects are welcome in all academic disciplines. Scholars are strongly encouraged to engage with the local community beyond their academic duties, fostering mutual understanding and collaboration between the United States and Zambia.
