UNM boasts two additional faculty 2006-2007 Fulbright recipients, Michael Morris and Sally Seidel, who were not included in the original list published last month.
Michael Morris, research professor and director of the UNM’s College of Education Office for Community Learning and Public Service received a New Century Scholars award, Fulbright’s global program where scholars look at large issue impacting education and/or health for a year in a cohort group.
Morris’ cohort is composed of 36 scholars and practitioners, 12 from the U.S. and 24 from around the world. His cohort’s international context looks at immigration in Southern Spain and its impact on schools and higher education.
They will also work in small groups on research and policy papers related to “Higher Education: Access and Equity,” especially for minorities, new immigrants, women and marginalized groups.
Sally Seidel, professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, is currently lecturing and conducting research on “Teaching and Research: Mapping the Strong Potential; Teaching about the Subatomic Frontier,” at Lund University, Lund, Sweden.
The traditional Fulbright Scholar competition for 2008-2009 opens March 1.
Some Fulbright Scholar opportunities for the 2007-2008 academic year are still available, though awards are closing daily.
