Boston Globe columnist H.D.S. Greenway analyzes the profound positive impact that Fulbright scholarships have in promoting a shift away from adversarial identities abroad. In the wake of the brief State Department removal of such scholarships to students in Gaza, Greenway argues that it is vital to maintain this program in conflict zones, since, as Fulbright scholar Abdulrahman Abdullah put it, “If we are talking about peace and mutual understanding it means investing in people who will later contribute to Palestinian society.” Read more about how Greenway sees the Fulbright scholars program as a tool for creating common ground.
