Fulbright pre-departure orientation 2009

Fulbright kindly invited me to D.C. from June 24-26, 2009. I was asked to take part in three country sessions (West Bank was put in with Syria, since there were only two scholars going, but we ended up meeting separately since our small meeting room at the Marriot Renaissance could not accommodate two simultaneous discussions.) A number of students and a handful of scholars were going to Syria.

In addition, on Thursday morning three of us who had recently returned from our Fulbrights in Jordan, Oman, and the West Bank were asked to speak for about 10 minutes and then answer questions. I briefly explained my original proposal to Fulbright and to what extent I had achieved my three goals.
