She will then leave in February for a six-months term in Albania. There, she will teach anthropology courses on ethnicity and cross culture conflict resolution at the University of Tirana, located in the country s capital. I hope to enrich the student s understanding of the dynamics of ethnicity and the sources of ethnic identity. This will encourage them to be able to understand and appreciate the diversity of other people, said Schweitzer. Schweitzer was selected for the grant based on her academic and teaching qualifications, publications, experience in teaching in the international community and letters of recommendation.
Fulbright grants are highly competitive.
Schweitzer will be one of only three U.S. professors chosen to receive an Albania grant. The Fulbright Program, America s flagship international exchange program, is committed to building a mutual understanding between people of the United States and the rest of the world.
