"My Fulbright visit at Rutgers has offered amazing opportunities not only to present my work in the area of Human-Animal Interactions to some of the faculties of Rutgers University and SSW students, but also to establish valuable connections for future collaborations."
Pioneering handbook for journalism and communication science education
On March 5th, scholars from Romania and the United States joined forces for their own Fulbright75 event. Celebrating the launch of the Romanian version of The Changing Education for Journalism and the Communication Occupations: The Impact of Labor Markets (Dinamica educației pentru profesiile din jurnalism și comunicare: Impactul pieței forței de muncă) by Professors Lee Becker and Tudor Vlad from the University of Georgia, the event brought together Romanian and American Fulbright Alumni. The book represents an in-depth analysis of the dynamics of journalism education and occupations in the United States throughout the last thirty years and looks at characteristics and evolutions among students, graduates, and teaching staff. The book was translated into Romanian by Fulbright Alumna Andreea Voina from Babeș-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca and is a pioneering handbook for journalism and communication science education. The event goes beyond a mere book launch, it recognizes the contribution of the two authors to the development of the journalism education and profession in Romania throughout the last decades.
