TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology professors Paul Christensen and Wayne Tarrant will be spending the 2021-22 academic year in Japan and Kenya, respectively, as Fulbright Faculty Scholars.
They join a long list of current colleagues who have been selected to participate in the United States government’s flagship international exchange program.
Rose-Hulman, the nation’s top-ranked undergraduate engineering college, has been recognized as a top producer of Fulbright scholars by the Chronicle of Higher Education.
Christensen, associate professor of anthropology, is planning to spend March through June of 2022 doing fieldwork in Japan for a project titled Diverging Tokyo: Poverty, Revitalization and the Shaping of a Meaningful Existence Project Narrative. His findings will become the basis for a future book project examining a meaningful existence in contemporary Japan.
