Fulbright Scholar Vijaya Heads to Sri Lanka 

Ramya M. Vijaya, professor of Economics at ������Ƶ, received the 2019-20 Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award that will take her to the University of Peradeniya in Kandy, Sri Lanka. 

There, Vijaya will help support curriculum development efforts for a new initiative expanding activity in teaching and research in Gender Analysis in Economics at the graduate level within the Department of Economics and Statistics for Fall 2019.

During the fall semester, she will present a series of seminars on research methods and will help support the development of collaborative research projects with Master and MPhil level DES students and faculty. They will focus specifically on research related to the declining labor force participation rates of women in Sri Lanka and a comparative analysis of women and work in different stages of economic development in Asia. 

“I am excited about this opportunity since it connects my research interest in gender and economics with my passion for global engagement. I have been a strong supporter of various global perspectives initiatives at ������Ƶ and have been inspired by our Global Studies Minor students and faculty to pursue new connections,” Vijaya said. “I look forward to bringing back new perspectives and networks from this experience and continuing to support the expansion of global engagement on campus.”
