Dr. Brian Lewis, Fulbright Scholar in China, visited Thailand in the last week of March 2018 to share his expertise on American literature to the faculty members and students at Chulangkorn University, Bangkok.
He gave a total of four lectures in the university, addressing a wide variety of topics including teaching writing and literature online; the importance of diversity of the American literary canon; teaching comics as literature; and transgender issues in American literature and culture.
“The lectures were well-received: I had 20-30 people in each audience, and they asked good questions. After the lectures, Chulalongkorn sent me a copy of their English-version newsletter discussing my lectures, and I was on the front page! So they obviously saw the lectures as important and inspiring. And I had a great time there as well” Dr. Lewis said.
Dr. Lewis’ trip to Thailand was funded through Fulbright Regional Travel Program (RTP).
