Georgia State Team Receives Fulbright-Hays Grant to Support Immersive Seminar Abroad on Afro-Brazilian Culture
A team from Georgia State University has garnered a Fulbright-Hays Group Project Abroad grant from the U.S. Department of Education for a four-week seminar next summer, where Georgia State will take 16 educators and students in the humanities and social sciences to study Afro-Brazilian culture.
Participants will travel to Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, where they will study Portuguese, and learn about the culture, art, history, politics, and community of Afro-Brazilians. Activities will include lectures, seminars, cultural events, and culturally relevant excursions to become fully immersed in the culture of Salvador da Bahia, located in a country that has the second largest population of Black people outside of the African continent.
