Congratulations to alumnus Robert Kazer (AB, '09) on being a recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship for 2009-2010. He will spend a year in Jordan and will conduct research on the origins and establishment of Jordanian domestic policies focused on Iraqi refugees. His analysis will highlight how these policies relate to the country’s experience with Palestinian refugees. He already has studied in Morocco and taken Arabic language courses in Jordan and Yemen.
