Grad Student Chris Conz Awarded Fulbright Student Grant
Graduate student, Chris Conz, has been awarded a Fulbright Student Grant through the Institute of International Education, sponsored by the U.S. State Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Conz will use the grant to help fund his dissertation research in Lesotho, Africa. He will be examining historical interactions in Qacha’s Nek district from 1880-1980, such as missionary education, colonial agricultural demonstrations, and rural development initiatives, to understand the ways in which Basotho people have produced environmental knowledge and applied this knowledge to use natural resources over time. Please join us in congratulating Chris for this monumental honor!
