READ ABOUT MY FULBRIGHT SEMESTER IN FINLAND
Reflections on a Fulbright Semester
This blog is about my time as a Fulbright Scholar living abroad January-May 2019. I'll be writing about teaching U.S. women's history in an international context; learning more about the health humanities through interdisciplinary collaborations with scholars at the University of Turku, and my impressions of life in a Nordic culture. I hope to discover many connections--to people, ideas, and to this beautiful country--and I hope you'll find ways to connect with what you read here.
