Hola a todos,
Durante la semana pasada, Jesús de Felipe (MEC-Fulbright 2012-2013) y yo (Antonio Marcial Escudero, MEC-Fulbright 2011-2012) hemos tenido el gusto de asistir al seminario Fulbright sobre derechos civiles celebrado en Birmingham (Alabama). Durante los cuatro días que ha durado el seminario hemos podido conocer mejor la historia americana de la lucha por los derechos civiles a la vez que disfrutábamos de la hospitalidad sureña y de la compañia de otros 60 becarios Fulbright pertenecientes a más de 30 paises y con gran variedad en lo que se refiere a la disciplina académica. La experiencia ha sido muy enriquecedora. Os adjunto información referente a las actividades que hemos realizado así como de los asistentes.
