The concept of this new series of events is to provide an informal setting for ISU faculty and students to learn more about the Fulbright Program. The talks will be given by Fulbright alumni (Americans who previously had Fulbright fellowships overseas) and current grantees from foreign countries whose ISU experience is sponsored by a Fulbright Program. The talks will last 20-30 minutes, thus allowing 20-30 minutes for discussion and socializing. Because the audience members will come from a wide range of disciplines, the talks will be aimed for a general audience, rather than a specialized discipline. The plan is for three Brown Bags per semester. Within the academic year, we hope to showcase the range of experiences that Fulbrighters have, both academically and culturally, the variety of Fulbright Programs and how they differ in structure, and how the Fulbright experience might differ depending on the country, culture, and historical context. Thus, the aim is to schedule talks from Fulbrighters from a range of disciplines, countries, programs and eras. Altogether, the series will have a mix of old and new contexts, science and humanities, in all types of geographical and political contexts.
