Dr. David Schwarzer Received a Fulbright Award in Argentina

Dr. Schwarzer, Professor in Secondary and Special Education and a native from Argentina, has received this prestigious award for the Spring semester 2019.  The award will provide Dr. Schwarzer the possibility to:
 

1.     develop and teach an Action Research class to two distinct audiences – novice researchers and practitioners at Universidad de San Andres – UDESA (one of the top universities in Latin America);

2.     develop and conduct several workshops in different public and private institutions in Buenos Aires, Argentina to promote their internationalization efforts; and

3.     conduct research with an already established research team from UDESA on translingualism in Buenos Aires’ “villas” (low income and under developed neighborhoods) currently hosting a variety of multilingual populations from neighboring countries.  These populations are multilingual in Spanish and several “original” languages – Quechua, Aymara, Guaraní, among others.

Dr. Schwarzer’s Fulbright will also center on promoting exchange programs between MSU’s faculty and students and Argentina’s institutions of higher education involved in this grant.
