Sheila Croucher, Rejai Professor of Political Science and American studies at Miami University, has been awarded a Fulbright Research Chair in North American Studies. She will spend January through May 2009 at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, researching migration and the politics of belonging in North America.

Croucher will focus on her ongoing research relating to transnational identity and migration in North America, which includes her current book project On the Other Side of the Fence: American Migrants in Mexico.

The Centre for North American Politics and Society at Carleton University is the only research center in Canada devoted to the study of the North American region.

The traditional Fulbright Scholar Program sends some 800 U.S. faculty and professionals to 140 countries each year to lecture, do research or participate in seminars, and some 800 foreign faculty come to the United States. It is a program of the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and is administered by the Council for International Exchange of Scholars.
