Fulbright Research Chair

To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Canadian Studies, the School for the Study of Canada launched a new and exciting program to promote exchange of insight, knowledge and scholarship between Canada and the United States. Beginning in the fall of 2022-23, the School for the Study of Canada annually hosts a highly regarded American scholar in the role of Fulbright Research Chair. The Trent School for the Study of Canada’s Fulbright Research Chair will contribute to the development of research, talks and curriculum that is broad and far-reaching, interdisciplinary, and innovative.

Applications are now open for a Visiting Scholar in the 2024-25 academic year.   For more information, visit the Fulbright website.  Deadline to apply is September 15, 2023.

 

We gratefully acknowledge the support of The Wilson Foundation in assisting with the establishment of the Fulbright Research Chair at Trent University.

In 2022, we welcomed Dr. Elizabeth Elliot-Meisel to Trent University.

In 2023, we welcome Dr. Kellen Zale to Trent University.
