Fulbright Awards Announced - July 03, 2008
WILLIAMSTOWN - The Fulbright Program has awarded research fellowships to Williams College alumni Danielle Callaway '08, Charles Howard '07, Anne Peckham '08, Matthew Wilka '06, and Katharine Warren '06.
Callaway will conduct an empirically based psychological study of children's attitudes towards persons with mental illness in Arusha, Tanzania.
Howard will investigate the artistic processes and working methods of the contemporary Italian architect Aldo Rossi and examine the social role that his architecture played in the renewal of modern Italian cities during the 1970s and 1980s.
Peckham will study Arabic at the Arabic Language Institute through the American University in Cairo.
Wilka will go to Ecuador to study Fe y Alegria, a public school system run by the Jesuit Order that serves students from indigenous communities, to examine this as a model for private partnership in public education.
Warren will spend a year studying legal institutions and practices available to and utilized by minority ethnic groups in China's rural Guyuizhou province.
In addition, five Williams College students in the Class of 2008 were awarded Fulbright English Teaching Assistantships: David Kessell to Russia, Shelby Kimmel to South Korea, Julia Kropp to Germany, Anna Tsykalova to South Korea, and Hannah Wong to Hong Kong.
The Fulbright Program is designed to increase mutual understanding between the peoples of the United States and other countries.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, it provides funding for students, scholars, teachers and professionals to undertake graduate study, advanced research, university teaching, and teaching in elementary and secondary schools. |
