Description
The Fulbright Scholar Program supports one Distinguished Scholar at the University of Trento’s Faculty of Law in Italy for three months. The award combines teaching with a research project of the scholar’s choosing, allocating 80% of activity to teaching and 20% to research. Areas of interest are comparative law, international law, legal history, and economic analysis of law.
The scholar teaches an undergraduate course and doctoral seminars, advises or mentors students, and is encouraged to collaborate with Trento faculty. The Faculty’s comparative and international law expertise and links with the School of International Studies offer opportunities for broader social science collaboration. As part of Fulbright’s international exchange mission, scholars may also give public talks and engage with the host community to strengthen relationships and mutual understanding between the United States and other nations.
