Eileen M. Angelini, PhD, professor of French at Canisius College, has been selected for a Fulbright Specialist project in Canada at the University of Manitoba from January 3-16, 2016, according to the United States Department of State and the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.
Angelini will work with faculty and graduate students in the Department of French, Spanish and Italian in the Faculty of Arts, and education students and faculty in the Faculty of Education from the University of Manitoba and the Université de St. Boniface, on the project “Francophone Culture: Literature, Pedagogy and Additional Language Acquisition.” She will also give public lectures and participate in community outreach at l’École St. Avilia, a French-immersion school.
Angelini is one of more than 400 U.S. faculty and professionals who will travel abroad this year through the Fulbright Specialist Program. The Fulbright Specialist Program, created in 2000 to complement the traditional Fulbright Scholar Program, provides short-term academic opportunities (two to six weeks) to prominent U.S. faculty and professionals to support curricular and faculty development and institutional planning at post-secondary, academic institutions around the world.
