Canadian Bounty
Our next door neighbor does not beckon as a far-off, exotic Fulbright destination, but it does offer other rewards – among them a valuable, and often neglected, focus for academic research in exploring how North Americans grapple with similar contemporary issues and challenges: sustainability, education, healthcare, governance, indigenous issues, immigration, urban planning, trade, globalization and many others. Boasting world class universities and research facilities, Canada also offers a beautiful natural environment coupled with vibrant cities noted for their cleanliness, safety and cultural riches.
Research Chair awards affiliated with universities throughout the country support bi-national collaborative research in thematic areas reflecting a broad range of contemporary issues and the relationship between Canada and the United States. Collaborate with cutting-edge research groups and enjoy a semester to an academic year of fulltime research in areas such as:
- Aboriginal Studies
- Business, Trade and International Economics
- Ethnicity and Multicultural Citizenship
- Globalization and Cultural Studies
- Health, Environment and Sustainability
- International Governance, Peace and Security

Benefits for one-semester grants are among the more generous Fulbright Scholar research awards. Review the full range of opportunities in Canada, and contact Carol Robles, Assistant Director at crobles@cies.iie.org or 202 686-6238 for more information. |
