This Fulbright teaching/research award, sponsored by Universidad de Murcia, supports a visiting academic in its Theoretical and Applied Linguistics Master’s Program. Areas of interest include theoretical and applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, synchronic language description, phonetics and phonology, and specialized languages. The award combines postgraduate teaching using established syllabi with high-quality research in the scholar’s field, ideally undertaken with university staff.
The scholar also assists doctoral and master’s students with linguistic methods, collaborates in person with relevant faculty research groups, and advises ongoing projects. These academic activities support Fulbright’s broader mission of strengthening relationships between people in the United States and other countries and promoting international understanding and cooperation.
