Sharon
Davie, director
of the University of Virginia Women’s Center, was recently
named a Fulbright Senior Specialist of 2006-2007. As such,
Davie will go to a foreign university for two to six weeks
as a faculty consultant, with Fulbright funding one trip
each year for five years, which she calls “an extraordinary chance
to walk in different worlds.” Davie is
working on a book about international women activists. The
U.S. Department of State’s Fulbright Senior
Specialist program
provides short-term
academic opportunities
designed to allow faculty
the flexibility to pursue a
grant in the midst of
academic or professional
commitments. Full
