U.S. Undersecretary for
Energy Kristina M. Johnson (Scotland 1991) will give the keynote address at
the Fulbright Association 32nd annual conference on Oct. 30. The plenary
speaker on Oct. 31 will be Krishna Guha (USA 2003), U.S. economics editor
and deputy Washington bureau chief of the Financial Times.
The
conference theme “Mutual Understanding amid Global Economic Challenges” has
attracted nearly 300 Fulbright alumni and guests, Fulbright Program staff,
and representatives from NGOs, higher education, and business to the meeting
Oct. 29 to Nov. 1 in Washington, D.C.
“Dr. Johnson and Mr. Guha join
other distinguished Fulbright alumni and current grantee speakers who will
serve on panels on economics, social entrepreneurship, science and
technology, and health care,” said Jane L. Anderson, the Association’s
executive director.
“As the foremost global Fulbright alumni event,
the Fulbright Association conference features panelists from Costa Rica, El
Salvador, Jordan, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, as well as from the
United States. Round-table discussion leaders come from Brazil, Germany,
Japan, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Togo, and Turkey. There will be poster
presenters from Haiti and Pakistan in addition to those from the United
States,” Ms. Anderson said. “Our Arts and International Education Task
Forces will also include speakers from France, Japan, and Uruguay.
Tim Nohe (Australia 2006), associate professor at the University of
Maryland-Baltimore County, will perform works from “Sounding Botany Bay,
Sounding Gamay” at the conference cultural event to be held at the U.S.
Botanic Garden Conservatory on Oct. 31. He created his composition during
his Fulbright grant to explore the sonic environment of one of Australia’s
richest cultural attractions.
The Fulbright Association engages
current and former Fulbright exchange participants in lifelong experiences
that advance international understanding through volunteer service to
communities, people-to-people diplomacy, and dialogue on global issues. The
Association is recognized for its work as a private, non-profit organization
that supports and promotes the Fulbright Program, an international
educational and cultural exchange initiative created in 1946 by legislation
sponsored by the late Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. There are
now over 275,000 Fulbright alumni worldwide.
