DOHA: The Centre for International and Regional Studies (CIRS) at Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar (SFS-Q) has awarded Dr Maha Al Hendawi (pictured), Assistant professor of Special Education in the College of Education at Qatar University (QU) a CIRS Fellowship.
This follows the recent launch by CIRS of an annual fellowship to be awarded to a member of QU faculty, in order to enhance local research productivity and build on its established collegial relationship with QU. Mehran Kamrava, Director at CIRS said, “This fellowship adds a new dimension to our partnership with QU and enables both of our institutions to benefit from the dynamic research environment that is being created.”
The fellowship awarded by CIRS will support QU faculty members in pursuing original research projects, with the aim being to publish research outcomes in leading journals or with university presses.
Dr Al Hendawi said: “I am most grateful for this invaluable opportunity to engage this year in scholarly endeavours with CIRS at SFS-Q. I believe this collaboration will not only benefit the two universities but will also strengthen the research environment to support Qatar’s vision.” The Peninsula
