Description
The Fulbright-UCD Mary Ball Washington Scholar award supports one academic undertaking teaching and research in American Studies or American history at University College Dublin’s School of History. The scholar conducts research in their specialism, collaborates as appropriate with School colleagues, particularly Dr Sandra Scanlon, and presents a seminar on their current research. There is no preferred division of time between teaching and research.
Teaching comprises two modules agreed with the Head of School: a research-led upper-level undergraduate module and either a graduate module or contributions to a team-taught undergraduate module. The scholar also advises or mentors students and assists with faculty, curriculum, or program development. Public engagement may include lectures, podcasts, or media contributions. These activities support Fulbright’s mission of strengthening relationships between the United States and other nations through international understanding and cooperation.
