Adam Levy Receives Fulbright Award Anonymous (not verified) Fri, 10/03/2014 - 10:09

Adam is among four University of Colorado Boulder faculty and staff who received Fulbright Scholar grants to pursue research, teaching and training abroad during the 2014-15 academic year.

Levy is teaching a number of graduate-level courses at Moldova State University and the State Institute for International Relations in the city of Chisinau. One of the classes takes students into the field to visit border checkpoints and migrant processing and detention centers. The course brings in guest lecturers including migrant managers and nongovernmental organization partners. One theme studied in Levy’s courses is the effects of border control efforts in the “iconic inter-zone” -- the contact or sometimes conflict zone -- between great powers, he said.

“The very small country of Moldova is a learning laboratory for border and migration management,” said Levy, who’s been in the country since Sept. 1. An estimated one-third of working-age citizens in Moldova labor abroad and send home about 40 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, making it a model for migrant management issues
