Three SoE grad students receive global studies awards

Friday, July 25, 2008 -

Three School of Education graduate students received international travel awards from UW-Madison's Global Studies program.

Educational Policy Studies students Catherine Sikubwabo Honeyman and Kristen Molyneaux and Curriculum and Instruction student Sarbani Chakraborty join five other students across campus chosen for the annual Scott Kloeck-Jensen Summer Travel Grants.

The Global Studies awards the grants to students whose work deepens international understanding and global social justice concerns.

Kloeck-Jenson was completing doctoral work on rural poverty in Mozambique province of Zambezia with his family on a Fulbright scholarship. There, he was also the field director for the Land Tenure Center's Mozambique project. He was due to return to the United States in January 2000 to complete his dissertation with UW-Madison but on June 23, 1999, Kloeck-Jenson and his family died in a car accident in South Africa.

Upon his death, family and friends gave contributions to supplement the remaining fellowship funds in order to support future graduate students working on international issues. The Global Studies program has continued to raise money for the fund. To date, 65 UW-Madison students have received the award. Related Articles :
