Global Colleagues, one of ASAP’s flagship programs headed by Robert Lepenies, won this year’s German Fulbright Association Jürgen Mulert Award on Mutual Understanding. The Mulert Award is an annual award given to volunteers, artists, professionals, and researchers whose work reflects and advances discourse and peace through mutual understanding. Since its inception in the spring of 2015, Global Colleagues has brought together 68 scholars from 31 countries with the aim of fostering mutually beneficial partnerships between poverty-focused academics in the Global North and South.
Global Colleagues is continuously accepting applications from earlier-career, poverty-focused academics in the Global South.
