Enriching knowledge about Latinos and Latin America: Notable Women Fulbright and MacArthur Scholars

The Fulbright Program, run by the U.S. Department of State since 1946, promotes cross-cultural understanding through international student and scholar exchanges. Fulbright Fellowship awardees have the opportunity to immerse themselves in other cultural realities as students, and to undertake research at the highest levels as scholars. They are often the recipients of other prestigious awards, including Nobel Prizes, high-level recognition from national governments, Pulitzer Prizes and MacArthur Fellowships.

MacArthur Foundation has awarded MacArthur Fellowships, also known as “Genius Grants”, to scholars who are contributing substantially to their fields of study. The following list recognizes five distinguished women scholars who have been both MacArthur and Fulbright Scholars and who have made unique contributions to knowledge about the history and culture of Latin America and/or the U.S. Hispanic/Latino community.
