The next phase in the initiative began in the 2016-17 academic year, when a call went out to all UA faculty who have so far participated in collaborations with AUTh faculty. They were each invited to submit a proposal to bring their Greek collaborator to Alabama for a week (sometime in either the Spring, Interim, or Summer semester of 2017).
Six proposals were funded, by UA’s College of Arts and Sciences; the following AUTh faculty will therefore each be visiting Tuscaloosa (hosted individually, by their collaborator and the collaborator’s home Department) to share their research, learn more about the University of Alabama, and further their work with their UA partner (whose name is also listed below each photo). We’ll see them each on campus throughout the Spring or Summer semesters.
