Fulbrightprofessur

Sedan dess tillkomst 1985 har SINAS haft stor nytta av samarbetet med Fulbright-programmet. SINAS har haft turen att vara värd för ett antal Fulbright-forskare och föreläsare genom åren, som alla har undervisat i kurser eller bedrivit forskning vid institutet. Hösten 1996 inrättades en permanent Fulbright-professur vid SINAS och Uppsala universitet. Fulbright-professuren, som är den enda i sitt slag i Sverige, finansieras gemensamt av Svenska Fulbrightkommissionen, Stockholms universitet och Uppsala universitet. En Fulbright-professor utses årligen och i allmänhet för ett helt läsår.

Tjänsten innehas vanligtvis av seniora forskare i amerikastudier, brett definierat. Den omfattar undervisning på grund- och avancerad nivå i USA-kunskap, bedriva forskning och bygga kontakter i Uppsala i synnerhet och Sverige i allmänhet. Fulbright-professuren utgör sedan den inrättades en betydande möjlighet för amerikanska forskare att föreläsa lokalt och nationellt, vilket har bidragit väsentligt till spridningen av amerikastudier i Sverige.
