Drysdale departs for the Middle East Alasdair Drysdale, professor of geography, has been awarded a Fulbright grant to conduct research on family planning in Oman and Jordan, the U.S. Department of State and the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board announced. Drysdale has been at UNH since 1976, and is currently chair of the geography department. While in the Middle East, he will study birth spacing, a relatively new concept geared at reducing the fertility rate by encouraging women to wait longer between having children.
