Abstract:

The Fulbright Program has, since it was established in 1946, facilitated international scholarly exchange to and from the United States on an unprecedented scale.1 This programme, designed to foster a global intellectual leadership, was from the outset inclusive of elite women and therefore offers opportunities to evaluate the influence of gender. Although the programme was legislated by a male‐dominated Congress and administered by a male‐dominated bureaucracy, women nonetheless had a minority presence.2 Some served on the Board of Foreign Scholarships (BFS) which administered the programme, some were appointed as directors of bi‐national commissions set up in partner countries and others were recipients of awards.3 Scholarship on the Fulbright Program has recognised that the majority of grant recipients were men.4 Yet neither the meaning of the minority status of women in the programme nor its impact on the experience of women themselves has been questioned. This programme which has been the most far‐reaching scheme for fostering educational exchange across the world has not been exposed to critical gender analysis.
