Carleton University and the Foundation for Educational Exchange between Canada and the United States renewed their support for a Fulbright Visiting Research Chair in the Centre for North American Politics and Society at Carleton. Sheila Croucher, from Miami University, will take up the position in January 2009.
Croucher, a professor of political science, focuses her research on issues of identity politics and globalization. Her most recent book, Globalization and Belonging: The Politics of Identity in a Changing World, examines how various forms of political and cultural attachment—citizenship, nationhood, ethnicity and gender—are being reconfigured in the context of global change.
The Canada-U.S. Fulbright Program enhances mutual understanding between the people of the neighbouring countries by providing support to outstanding graduate students, faculty, professionals and independent researchers who conduct research, lecture or enroll in formal academic programs in the other country.
