STUDENT WINS FULBRIGHT FELLOWSHIP
Amy Jamison, a doctoral student in the educational policy program at Michigan State University’s College of Education, recently received the prestigious Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad fellowship that will allow her to complete her research in Tanzania.
Jamison will study the effects of globalization on international scholarly exchange through her research at the University of Dar es Salaam, located in Tanzania’s largest city, Dar es Salaam. Jamison said that her research, which will take place from January to December 2008, will focus on how the university’s approach to scholarly exchange has developed and changed over time as well as the effects of globalization, based on interviews with faculty and university documents.
She has visited Tanzania on four previous occasions, and has taken three years of Swahili, Tanzania’s native language. Jamison believes Dar es Salaam is the best place to research scholarly exchange because the university was created to help establish the nation’s identity after gaining independence, but has grown to embrace international relationships. Her research in Tanzania will become the basis of her doctoral dissertation.
Jamison was one of four students granted a Fulbright-Hays fellowship at MSU this year. The Fulbright-Hays program was founded by U.S. Sen. J. William Fulbright in 1946 to strengthen international relations, and has since granted awards to approximately 100,000 U.S. participants and approximately 170,000 non-U.S. participants. Last year, three of the four Fulbright-Hays dissertations granted to MSU were given to College of Education students. |
