Fulbright-Hays Group Project to India
Fabric of Indian Life
Mary Littrell and Molly Eckman, along with their colleague Jim Boyd in CSU's Department of Philosophy, received funding for a Fulbright-Hays Group Project to India for the 2006-2007 academic year. The project is in collaboration with the International Textile and Apparel Association (ITAA), a professional association of university educators in textiles and apparel.
Fabric of Indian Life, a faculty development project, involved 12 members of ITAA and 6 K-12 teachers chosen in a competitive process. Selected participants took part in a pre-trip orientation seminar in November, 2006; a month-long trip to India between December 26, 2006, and January 25, 2007; and a post-trip course/unit India infusion project to be completed by May, 2007. The new or revised courses/units infused with Indian cultural content will be posted on the Design and Merchandising website for broad diffusion across the U.S. and abroad.
