Advice for anyone considering the Fulbright award
First, establish meaningful relationships with colleagues somewhere-rather than saying something like, "I just want a Fulbright." I'll go anywhere!" Then determine a collaborative exchange where you each give and get. Finally, work with the Office of Faculty Development or previous Fulbrighters on your application.
Accomplishments
Coined the term "edu-curation" to represent an ideal of collaborative curation. Established the edu-curation program at FSU, the only such program offering MA and PhD degrees. With colleague Ann Rowson Love developed the first comprehensive model for intentional curation. https://www.mleuven.be/en/programme/icom-ceca-conference-digital-tuesday-2610
