Fulbright New Century Scholar
With pleasure, we
announce that Dr. Gioconda Herrera, Ph.D., faculty member
at Flacso and a researcher on gender and migration
issues, has been chosen as one of the Fulbright New
Century Scholars for the year 2004-2005.
Thirty top
academics and professionals collaborate for a year on a
topic of global significance. For the current year, the
research theme is "Toward Equality: The Global
Empowerment of Women." Dr. Herrera will begin her
grant with a trip to Atlanta, Georgia, where the thirty
academicians and professionals will meet NCS
Distinguished Scholar Leader, Dr. Carolyn Elliott,
Professor Emerita at the University of Vermont, to
delineate potential collaborative outcomes for the
program.
We are truly
honored to have an Ecuadorian citizen in this important
grant, proving once more that Ecuador truly has
exceptional people who contribute to its daily
development.
Breakfast
at Fulbright
On March 13, the
Fulbright Commission will host the first Breakfast at
Fulbright in honor of our returning grantees. This will
be a great opportunity for the grantees to get to know
each other better and network; and, it will give the FC
the chance to know what their plans are now that they
have returned to Ecuador.
