Faculty Member Receives Fulbright-Hays Award
Karen Barton |
Dr. Karen Barton, Lecturer in Geography, was awarded a Fulbright-Hays Travel award to conduct a Geography Curriculum project in Brazil for Summer 2007. As part of her curriculum project, Dr. Barton visited six different regions of Brazil, including the Amazon Basin, the Gran Pantanal, and the Cerrado. She focused on how cattle ranchers have become “accidental” environmentalists in the fight to protect Brazil’s wetlands through ecotourism ventures and, is now integrating her findings into UNC’s Geography curriculum.
