Fulbright Spotlight: Imen Boussayoud

Ph.D. candidate Imen Boussayoud has received a U.S. Fulbright Student Program award to research early Atlantic history in Lisbon, Portugal.

Based at the Centro de Humanidades at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Boussayoud is studying how enslaved Indigenous Canary Islander and West African peoples fought for freedom in the early colonial period.

Through administrative, royal, and community records, she aims to trace the social lives and mobility of manumitted peoples across Atlantic island networks.

A Brooklyn native and CUNY Hunter College alumna, Boussayoud is one of 39 Brown students and alumni selected for a Fulbright this academic year.

"Receiving the Fulbright and the opportunity it allows for me to conduct international research on this scale is a true gift."
