Hermann Kurthen, professor of sociology, has received a Fulbright Scholar award to teach and conduct research during the next academic year at Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria. It's the second time Kurthen has received a Fulbright award.
During February-July 2023, Kurthen said he will teach upper-level sociology courses and conduct a comparative study of the effect of COVID-19 on international student exchanges at Grand Valley and Johannes Kepler.
He also plans to explore virtual and in-person faculty and student exchange opportunities between the two universities.
Kurthen first received a Fulbright award in 2011, from the German-American Fulbright Commission at the Institute for International and Security Affairs/SWP in Berlin.
The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government’s flagship international educational exchange program.
