Kingsbury Receives Second Fulbright Award

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR of Arts and Sciences Dr. Aaron Kingsbury recently completed the prestigious Fulbright Specialist fellowship at the University of Atma Jaya Yogyakarta in Indonesia. The collaboration extended a rapidly developing personal and professional relationship between Dr. Kingsbury and his Indonesian hosts.
Dr. Kingsbury’s fellowship sought to develop the interdisciplinary teaching and research skills of scholars at his host university. While in Indonesia, he conducted a series of workshops including Drones and Open-Source Photogrammetry for Engineering, Designing an Experiential Educational-Based Curriculum, Drones in the Social Sciences (Theory and Practice for Research), and Innovative and Ecological Approaches to Social Change in Japanese Farming (with Implications for Indonesia). One highlight was a multiple-day series of practical exercises in drone mapping on an active construction site.

Dr. Kingsbury also joined with host Indonesian faculty for regular trips to the surrounding countryside to visit female farming cooperatives. Future research collaborations are planned.
