Spring 2017 Call for Submissions

Every season, Fulbridge invites Fulbright ETAs to write about a particular theme or aspect of their ETA experience.

This spring, the theme is diversity.

Diversity, n. The condition or quality of being diverse, different, or varied; difference, unlikeness.

In many ways the Fulbright experience is a celebration of diversity, but the fruits born of such a venture are often not easily won. We invite you to consider the implications of diversity as it relates to a broad range of topics. Don’t hesitate in broadening your notions of difference. From gender to geography, the Fulbright experience causes us to grapple with “conditions of unlikeness.” How has the grant year changed your perspectives on diversity?

Submissions should range between 500 – 1500 words.
We accept submissions from both current grantees and alumni.

Deadline Extended: April 15, 2017
(11:59 pm EST)

Email your your submissions (in .doc or .docx format) to contact@fulbridge.org.
Please include your full name, grant country, and grant year.
