Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Fellowship: Amy Jamison

Amy Jamison, a third-year doctoral student in MSU’s Educational Policy program, was awarded the prestigious Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Fellowship to help fund her research in Tanzania. She plans to devote all of 2008 gathering data for her doctoral dissertation at a university in Tanzania’s largest city, Dar es Salaam.

Her research will analyze what factors have affected the University of Dar es Salaam’s international relationships since its establishment in 1961, and what may come into play in the future. With a passion for and previous training in history, Jamison plans to gather a wealth of oral recollections from practicing faculty. Those personal case studies will provide essential information as she explores how knowledge has been exchanged and valued over time and across international boundaries.
