The Fulbright connection 2:44 p.m., June 21, 2005--Alex Settles, an assistant policy scientist at UD’s Institute for Public Administration in the School of Urban Affairs and Public Policy, and Michael Eith, a 2005 graduate, have both received Fulbright awards for 2005-06. Settles has been on leave during 2004-05 at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, where he served as program director of the Center for Corporate Governance on an education and research program focusing on corporate governance issues in Russia, sponsored by York University in Canada and the Higher School of Economics. Settles, who taught in the school’s departments of management and government administration, has received a teaching Fulbright fellowship for 2005-06. He is married to Elena Shainyan Settles, who received her doctorate from UD’s School of Urban Affairs and Public Policy in 2004. With a bachelor’s degree cum laude and a master of public administration degree, both from UD, Settles is now working on his doctorate. His research focuses on the implementation of e-government practices in the United States, and his faculty adviser is Marian Lief Palley, professor of political science and international relations and director of the Women’s Studies Interdisciplinary Program. Eith, who received bachelor’s degrees in economics and in German studies from UD and was recently inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, will study at the Universitat Leipzig in Germany from September through August 2006. He will take courses and complete an independent research project on the social transitions that have taken place in Germany, especially eastern Germany, since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the changing economic conditions. Eith said he became interested in the project after a UD Study Abroad Program during Winter Session in Bayreuth. Article by Sue Moncure To learn how to subscribe to UDaily, click here. |
