Fulbright Grant

Amanda Hannoosh '06, West Newbury, Mass - Fulbright Grant to Jordan

The purpose of the Fulbright Program is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries through the exchange of persons, knowledge and skills. It is designed to give recent college graduates opportunities for personal development and international experience.

Hannoosh will pursue studies in Arabic language and literature, specifically poetry, at the University of Jordan in Amman, Jordan. She will use her insider's view of the linguistic aspects of poetry and of the cultural and historical aspects specific to the culture to gather her own translations of Arabic poetry. This collection may become Hannoosh's dissertation in the future.

Thomas J. Watson Fellowship

Danielle Roper, St. Mary, Jamaica

Watson Fellowships provide funds for graduating seniors of unusual promise to embark on a year of self-directed, independent study while traveling outside the U.S. after graduation.

Roper's project is titled "Humour as Protest: A Study of Stand-Up Comedy, Humour in Mass Media and Popular Theater in Argentina, Paraguay, Peru and Nicaragua." She will examine political humor, specifically stand-up comedy, satire found in popular culture and mass media--including newspapers, magazines, radio and television shows--and popular theatre. 

Roper hopes to demonstrate how political humor educates the masses, which then contributes to social transformation in Latin America.
