Six University of California, Davis, faculty members and one staff member have been awarded Fulbright Scholar grants for 1998-99 to teach and conduct research in South American, Pacific Rim and European countries. The Council for International Exchange of Scholars annually awards lecture and research grants to Americans who use them to go abroad. The grants range in duration from four months to a full academic year, and are funded by the United States Information Agency and by participating governments and host institutions in the U.S. and abroad. The council awarded grants this year to the following UC Davis scholars, some of whom have already completed their travel. • Kent Bradford, a professor in the vegetable crops department since 1981, specializes in seed biology, with a particular interest in seeds of agricultural crops. As a Fulbright scholar, Bradford will lecture and conduct research in the areas of seed production and horticulture at the National University of Cuyo in Mendoza, Argentina. • Sue-Ellen Case, a professor in the theatre and dance department since 1997, will study and lecture in the area of theater studies at the National University of Singapore starting in January. Case received her Ph.D. in theater studies from UC Berkeley. • James Clegg, director of Bodega Marine Laboratory and professor of molecular and cellular biology, has been on campus since 1986. Starting in January at the University of Ghent in Belgium, Clegg will study the encysted embryos of brine shrimp from geologic cores many thousands of years old for clues to the long-term stability of preserved DNA. • Kath-Ann Gerhardt, associate director of Services for International Students and Scholars since 1983, participated in the Fulbright Seminar for International Educators in Japan last summer. Seminar participants visited universities and other organizations involved in international education and made presentations about U.S. higher education. • Michael J. Glennon, who has taught at the law school since 1986, is lecturing on American constitutionalism at Vytautas Magnus University in Lithuania for six months. A former legal counsel to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Glennon has counseled Albanian leaders on the writing of a new constitution. • Jeffrey Granett, a professor in the entomology department since 1979, studies insects important in production of agricultural crops. His research focuses on the phylloxera louse, which damages and often kills grapevines. At the Pannon University of Agriculture in Keszthely, Hungary, Granett will research conditions that influence phylloxera populations and damage grapevines. • Jerold Last, a professor in the pulmonary medicine department of the medical school since 1979, will lecture and conduct research about California industry, agriculture and the environment in Argentina starting in April. He directs the UC Systemwide Toxic Substances Research and Teaching Program. Fulbright recipients are selected on the basis of academic and professional qualifications, as well as their ability and willingness to share ideas and experiences with people in other countries. Applicants to the program undergo a rigorous peer review administered by the council.
