Boise State Prof Awarded Fulbright Award To Teach In Georgia

---

Ed McLuskie, a communication professor at Boise State University, has been granted a Fulbright award to teach in the Republic of Georgia. McLuskie will teach a graduate seminar and offer lectures on the philosophy and sociology of the public sphere for democracy. This is the second Fulbright professorship award McLuskie has received � the first was to the University of Vienna, Austria, in 1997. The awards are made by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, which has 12 members appointed by the president. Grants are made possible through funds appropriated annually by the U.S. Congress, as well as contributions from partner countries and the private sector. The purpose of the Fulbright Program is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and those in the approximately 150 countries currently participating in the program. McLuskie will attend an orientation meeting in Washington, D.C. in mid-July before leaving for Georgia. -30- Contact Michael Blankenship Dean, College of Social Sciences and Public Affairs 208 426-3776 Media Contact Kathleen Craven communications and marketing 208 426-3275
