15 March 2023 - Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Webinar
​

The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program. View the webinar in the archive to learn more about how Community Colleges and Minority Serving Institutions can benefit from participating in the Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (S-I-R) Program and hear from a panel of S-I-R institutional alumni hosts. The webinar was recorded on March 15, 2023.

The S-I-R Program is a unique Fulbright Scholar Program initiative that is specifically driven by the goals of U.S. institutions of higher education to enhance internationalization efforts on their campuses. Through the S-I-R Program, institutions host a scholar from outside of the United States for a semester or full academic year to teach courses, assist in curriculum development, guest lecture, develop study abroad/exchange partnerships and engage with the campus and the local community.

S-I-Rs work across departments and curricula in a variety of ways to widely enhance or expand an existing international program and develop new world area studies programs.

2022 Professional Presentations

18 October 2022 - 2022 Fulbright SIR Mentor Workshop
​

The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program. The institution benefits from the expertise provided, and the Scholar attains experience in the U.S. higher education arena. The community, through the institution, provides the Visiting Scholar with opportunities to participate in speaking engagements, community meetings, and other grassroots activities. Through this, the institution can diversify the experiences of – and build goodwill among – the community. The S-I-R Program promotes cultural and intellectual diversity among the institution and the wider community.

2021 Professional Presentations

27 October 2021 - Faculty Research Series:
                                  Matt Fuller, Ph.D.

The Faculty Research Series was created during the COVID-19 pandemic as a series of online interivews to enrich student learning despite the global shut-down. The fourth lecture in the annual “History of Vampire Lore” series was hosted by Andrew Hill who interviewed Matt Fuller, who lectured about the first great vampire movie, 1922's "Nosferatu."  Matt presented the making of the film, its reception, and its influence in the context of 1920s Weimar Germany.  

​Along with the history of the film, they discussed the deeper question: if one was paying close enough attention to the Horror Films of Weimar Germany, could one see the rise of Fascism?

Presented by St. Philip’s College Philosophy Club & the University of Otago's NCPACS Student Association.

07 October 2021 - Faculty Research Series:
                                  Allen Lee Hamilton, M.A.
​

The Faculty Research Series was created during the COVID-19 pandemic as a series of online interivews to enrich student learning despite the global shut-down. In the chaotic beginning of the pandemic, we focused on medical ethics, however, we also wanted to broaden the scope of our lecture series. Throughout the year of 2020 we held a series of online presentations and discussions focused on Philosophy and Ethics, but when we reached the fall semester of 2021, we decided to look at ethics across the curriculum and invite some guest speakers from other disciplines to reflect on ethics in their area of expertise.

We reached out to Prof. Allen Lee Hamilton, who teaches history at St. Philip's College, and asked for his perspective.

The session was hosted by Andrew Hill, J.D. who interviewed Prof. Hamilton.
