Appstate Professor will be doing research in Austria

With support from her 2022–23 Fulbright, Appalachian State University’s Dr. Alexandra Sterling-Hellenbrand will return to Austria this spring, where she will teach and engage in research as the Fulbright Visiting Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of Graz.

This marks her second awarded Fulbright in the past four academic years. For over 75 years, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 400,000 participants — chosen for their academic merit as well as leadership potential — the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, exchange ideas, and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns. Fulbright recipients engage in cutting-edge research and expand their professional networks, often continuing research collaborations started abroad and laying the groundwork for forging future partnerships between institutions.
