Blair awarded 2010-11 Fulbright grant
Sampson Lee Blair, associate professor of sociology, has been awarded a Fulbright Scholar grant to lecture and conduct research at Xavier University (Ateneo de Cagayan) on the island of Mindanao, the Philippines, during the 2010-11 academic year.
A sociologist who specializes in family and child development, Blair will conduct research on the relationship between Filipino parental involvement and children’s educational performance during his fellowship year.
A popular professor at UB, Blair is a former director of undergraduate studies in the sociology department, and currently chairs the American Sociological Association’s Section on Children and Youth.
His research on family issues—most recently risky adolescent behavior—is widely published and he has served as associate editor of several major sociological journals, among them Social Justice Research, Sociological Inquiry, the Journal of Family Issues, and Marriage and Family Review.
The Fulbright Program, America’s flagship international educational exchange program, was established in 1946 under legislation introduced by the late Sen. J. William Fulbright of Arkansas; 1,100 U.S. faculty members and professionals received fellowships through its Foreign Scholarship Program this year. Recipients are selected on the basis of academic or professional achievement, as well as demonstrated leadership potential in their fields.
