FULBRIGHT CANADA offers unique opportunities

to promising and prominent Canadian scholars, as well as

experienced professionals, to conduct research, develop

new professional networks, guest lecture and/or teach at

select American universities and research centres.

The University of California was chartered in 1868 and its flagship campus — envisioned as a "City

of Learning" — was established at Berkeley, on San Francisco Bay. Today the world's premier

public university and a wellspring of innovation, UC Berkeley occupies a 1,232 acre campus with a

sylvan 178-acre central core. From this home its academic community makes key contributions to

the economic and social well-being of California, the nation, and beyond.

Berkeley’s Canadian Studies Program is an interdisciplinary campus initiative to promote research

on and instruction of Canada, including through comparative studies. This program encourages

and facilitates an awareness of Canadian issues on the Berkeley campus, in nearby institutions with

no Canadian Studies programs of their own, and in the wider community.

The Fulbright Chair will be invited to give a public lecture and make him- or herself available to

students on campus. The Fulbright Chair may also help organize a small conference in partnership

with the Canadian Studies Program.

What are the benefits of a Fulbright Canada Chair? * US$25,000 for one semester
