The University is delighted to welcome J. Meade Klingensmith as our 2013-14 Fulbright Scholar,\u00a0joining us as a student later this\u00a0week.<\/p>\n

Meade, a\u00a023-year-old from Pittsburgh, PA, graduated from Ohio\u2019s Oberlin College in 2012 with a BA honours in History and a minor in Politics.\u00a0His home\u00a0is New York, NY. \"Meade\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He enrols in the MA Modern History programme at Kent later this week and plans to research British perspectives of Middle Eastern nationalism during World War I and the early inter-war period. His work will provide a new perspective on the persistent failure of communication and understanding between the English-speaking world and the Middle East by examining how British views of the Middle East assumed their modern form. On his reason for choosing to study at Kent, Meade said: \u201cThe University\u2019s excellent history program and strong international orientation made it seem a perfect fit, and after a hectic year in New York, the change of pace Canterbury will provide couldn\u2019t be more welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meade\u2019s Fulbright scholarship is only possible thanks to the generous support of our US alumni, who have facilitated the programme by making donations to the University of Kent in America<\/a> (UKA).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
