________________

The Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad Program provides short-term study and
travel seminars abroad for U.S. educators in the social sciences and
humanities, including library science, for the purpose of improving
their understanding and knowledge of the peoples and cultures of other 
countries.

Seminars are four to six weeks in duration and take place from late June
to mid-August.  There are generally ten seminars each summer with 16
positions per seminar.  Round-trip international airfare, room and
board, and program-related travel within the host country(ies) are all
covered by the Fulbright-Hays Program.

A special bilateral seminar will be hosted in Summer 2004 by Canada and
Mexico.  The seminar, entitled "Getting to Know America's Neighbors:
Nationhood, Culture, and Identity in Mexico and Canada," will explore
the construction of national and cultural identity by looking at culture
and identity in Mexico and Canada.  In Canada, participants will visit
several regions, including the Canadian arctic and Quebec City.  In
Mexico, visits will include Oaxaca, Puebla, and Michoacán.

The application deadline for Summer 2004 seminars is October 17, 2003.
