The program seeks to bring together 12 advanced Ph.D. students from developing nations to consider strategies which address issues of poverty and hunger, both in our local community and in the students' home communities. Approximately two weeks each will be spent in Ethiopia and Eritrea.
Grants cover round trip airfare and in-country expenses.
In addition to featuring African films, we have invited the filmmakers to introduce their films and participate in discussions about their work. We invite you to share in the celebration by attending the festival and meeting the filmmakers. All showings are free of charge and open to everyone. A reception for audience members and filmmakers is planned for Saturday afternoon. One recipient of the Teacher-Scholar Award was Elizabeth A. Eldredge from the Department of History.
