Beth Daniels, associate professor of psychology, has been awarded the first-ever Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award to focus specifically on gender studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniels will spend the spring 2021 semester teaching and conducting research in Albania. Her hybrid teaching research award will allow her to teach on gender issues and consult on curriculum for the Gender Studies program at the University of Tirana, the largest university in Albania. Through her research, she will also examine young Albanian peoples\u2019 attitudes towards gender norms and roles while living in a country whose government has called for greater gender parity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniels\u2019s interest in Albania centers around the country\u2019s recent governmental efforts to create positive social change around gender norms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis Fulbright fellowship is a rare opportunity to engage\nwith students and faculty in thinking about gender within a society that is\nmaking systemic changes aimed at attaining gender equality,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m\ninterested in examining the factors that might predict more support for\negalitarianism between genders, and what factors might predict less support \u2013\nor even opposition \u2013 to gender egalitarianism.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniels is also interested in breaking new ground with her\nresearch, in more ways than one. Little research has been conducted on gender\nattitudes in the southern Balkans \u2013 and Daniels\u2019 Fulbright fellowship will be\nthe first in the world to focus specifically on gender studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really exciting,\u201d Daniels said, \u201cbecause I\u2019ll be embedded in a country undergoing a social transformation initiated by the government to address gender inequality. And it\u2019s an opportunity to see how that translates into peoples\u2019 everyday attitudes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daniels\u2019 scholarship centers on gender development, and much of her work focuses on body image. She is looking forward to bringing a global perspective and a comparative lens to her teaching both at the University of Tirana and at UCCS. Upon her return to the United States, she is also interested in establishing a faculty-directed study abroad program for UCCS students to immerse themselves in gender scholarship at the University of Tirana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
