Amber, who graduated from Tufts University in May, will use her Fulbright Scholarship to conduct independent research in Toronto with Rinaldo Walcott and Dionne Brand.

Walcott is the Canada Research Chair of Social Justice and Cultural Studies and focuses on Black Studies, Canadian Studies, Queer Theory and Gender Theory, and Diaspora Studies. Brand, a former Toronto Poet Laureate, explores themes of gender, race, sexuality and feminism, white male domination, injustices and "the moral hypocrisies of Canada."


Amber will attend the University of Pennsylvania for a joint PhD in English and Africana Studies after her Fulbright year. Watch your mail for more about Amber in our summer newsletter.


"I was thrilled when I was notified that I had received the Fulbright. I was incredibly humbled to know that the research interests that have guided my undergraduate career were recognized as worthy of such a prestigious fellowship. Toronto is an incredible city brimming with brilliant scholars, artists and thinkers and I am excited to be living and working in such a rich intellectual environment. My independent research is focused on poetics, and in particular poetics theory influenced and articulated by Caribbean language theorists. I'm interested in the ways that poetic theory can influence youth identity development and leadership development. "
