Dr. Michael Malahy Morris Returns From Fulbright To Chair University Committee | 
Several University of New Mexico faculty are recipients of prestigious Fulbright awards that will take them to Latin America to share their expertise and conduct further research.
Dr. Michael Malahy Morris, Research Professor in Public Policy in the College of Education, is a Fulbright New Century Scholar, a new Fulbright program that brings together a 12 month international cohort of scholars looking at major global issues - women's rights, world health care systems, the environment and sustainability, and, most recently, access and education in education, the themes for 2006-2007 and 2007-2008.
During his time abroad Dr. Morris gave lectures at the University of Salamanca, Valencia, Cadiz, and the National University of Ireland (Galway).
Morris is only the second New Mexican to be named a Fulbright New Century Scholar and the only Fulbright New Century Scholar to focus investigations in Spain.
Morris’ research focused on education and immigration. He looked specifically at the young undocumented, under-aged and unaccompanied minors between the ages of 12-17 who entered Spain and the European Union illegally from North Africa, largely Muslim countries, and the Sub Sahara.
Partially as a result of this, Morris has been invited to be a respondent on a special panel dealing with youth migrants at the World Forum on Migration next month in Madrid where he will comment on and analyze the phenomena and education’s response in a comparison between the US and the EU.
