Amy Reusch Posted July 13, 2001 Share Posted July 13, 2001 I suppose this belongs in the links section, but it seemed like people interested in dance history would be the more likely audience: http://www.fulbright.org/cohen/appcall.htm Here's the press release I received: International Dance Council - CID - Conseil International de la Danse President's office grdance@hol.gr FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Jane L. Anderson (202) 331-1590 FULBRIGHT ASSOCIATION INVITES APPLICATIONS FOR COHEN AWARD FOR INTERNATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP ON DANCE WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 11, 2001) -- The Fulbright Association has issued a call for applications for the 2001 Selma Jeanne Cohen Fund for International Scholarship on Dance Award. The award will enable a dance scholar to present a major paper at the Fulbright Association's annual conference in November. The award recipient will be chosen in a competition to be advised by the founder of the fund, Dr. Selma Jeanne Cohen, preeminent dance historian and founding editor of the International Encyclopedia of Dance. Outstanding dance scholars are invited to apply for the award, which will fund the recipient's travel and expenses in conjunction with the Fulbright Association conference. The competition is open to all dance scholars. Proposal guidelines are available from the Fulbright Association and are posted on its web site at http://www.fulbright.org/. The inaugural Selma Jeanne Cohen Award was presented to Fulbright alumna Leslie Friedman. The award supported Dr. Friedman's lecture, "Expression in Dance," delivered at the Fulbright Association's annual conference Nov. 30 through Dec. 3, 2000 in Washington, D.C. Dr Friedman said, "I looked at how one culture might understand another culture and my idea of dance as a doorway for that understanding." Her paper was based on research conducted in India on Indian dance and aesthetics. The Fulbright Association is a private, non-profit organization that supports and promotes the Fulbright Program, an international educational and cultural exchange initiative created in 1946 by legislation sponsored by the late Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. There are now over 200,000 Fulbright alumni throughout the world. ###### Link to comment
