Offered through the Fulbright Scholar Program with the US-UK Fulbright Commission, it welcomes projects in any department, including interdisciplinary work. Activities can include independent research, undergraduate or graduate teaching, student mentoring, faculty or curriculum development, and professional or artistic projects.
