Marcus Farr named 2019 U.S. Fulbright Scholar to China

Fulbright Award for Teaching & Research in Social Sciences for China & East Asia. During my role as a visiting Fulbright Scholar, I lectured at the Tsinghua University School of Architecture Graduate Program (English Language Program), and taught at the Tianjin University School of Architecture.

I had the privilege of lecturing at several institutions throughout China, including Nanjing University, Southeast University, Beijing Normal University, Tongji University, and the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts.

While in China, I received weekly Mandarin language training and traveled extensively throughout the mainland. I also met regularly with U.S. diplomats and Foreign Service officers to learn about best practices for education abroad and diplomacy. Being a Fulbright Scholar was one of the richest experiences I have had as an academic.

The Fulbright Program, sponsored by the U.S. government, aims to promote mutual understanding between nations. Overseen by a presidentially appointed board, the program is globally recognized, with notable alumni including Nobel Laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, and leaders across many sectors. This opportunity was made possible through funds from the U.S. Congress, among a prestigious network of scholars contributing to international collaboration.
