Two University of Iowa faculty members have been named 2003 Global Scholars.
Recipients of the Global Scholar award are released from half their usual teaching, advising, administrative, and service obligations for two consecutive years. It is a developmental award for one semester each year, part of which will be spent in one or more foreign countries. Up to two Global Scholar awards may be made annually for a total of four scholars in any given year.
Janine Sawada is an associate professor of religious studies in the field of Japanese religious and intellectual history, especially popular movements of early modern Japan. She will research the comparative history of pilgrimage culture, focusing on Edo (Tokyo) and Rome, Italy, during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Lea VanderVelde, Josephine Witte professor of law and an expert in American legal history and employment law, will research several issues of global labor migration and human trafficking for the purposes of finding work.
