Dr. Lee Allen

Allen will train Ukrainian teachers in the use of Web-based technologies, including Web applications and freeware, so that they can use the knowledge and skills with their own students. He also will demonstrate how teachers can incorporate Web applications into research and products in various academic contexts.

“I am quite honored and pleased to have been selected by the Fulbright committee to work at the Poltava Regional Institute in Ukraine,” said Allen, “and I am looking forward to a very beneficial collaboration that will flourish while there, and will surely continue when I return to the University of Memphis. I am especially excited about working with educators in the Ukraine, as that is what I also do as a professor here in the United States.”

Allen is the second Fulbright award recipient from the College of Education.

A graduate of the College of Santa Fe, Allen earned his master’s from the University of New Mexico and doctorate from Pepperdine University.

Each year, the Fulbright Scholar Program sends some 800 U.S. faculty and professionals to 140 countries to lecture, research, or participate in seminars. At the same time, approximately 800 foreign faculty members come to the U.S. Awardees lecture and conduct research in a wide variety of academic and professional fields.
