UW-Madison was included this year on the list of U.S. colleges and universities that produced the most 2020-2021 Fulbright U.S. Students. Of the thirteen Fulbright recipients from UW-Madison, three are graduate students in our Department of History! Celia Crifasi has received a study/research award for Spain, Carly Lucas has received a study/research award for Tanzania, and Tyler Lehrer has received a study/research award for Sri Lanka. Congrats to our grads!

Tyler Lehrer states, “In what has already been an extraordinarily challenging year for so many students and researchers, receiving this prestigious award is not only a tremendous honor, but also an opportunity to reconnect on the ground with collaborators, mentors, and dear friends, as well as to resume research in one of the most extraordinarily beautiful and beguilingly complex places in the world.”
