Research Scholars - French Studies

1. “The Fulbright experience provided me the time and opportunity to deepen existing relationships
with French colleagues, to meet many other scholars and develop an expanding research network,
and to access the riches of the French archives and libraries. The four months I have been here have
been an intense non-stop immersive experience in which I have been constantly interrogating how
the problems of the past inform our contemporary struggles. Senator Fulbright’s vision of cross-
cultural and international communication and diplomacy as the path to a peaceful democratic world
offers a powerful model.”
- Maureen Shanahan, Fulbright Research Scholar in Art History 2016-2017
