Looking for advice on student Fulbright application (political science)

[Nicole Monnier]

Dear SEELANGSers,

I have a student who is applying this fall for a Fulbright English Teaching 
Assistantship in Russia and is in the process of putting together her proposal for the 
component research project. (For those of you unfamiliar with this particular 
Fulbright program, the program combines a teaching assistantship of about 24 
hours/week with an independent study/ research project.)

As I am unversed in political science (her primary field of study), I was wondering 
whether somewhere out there might be willing to read her one-page proposal to 
comment on the political sensitivity and general viability of her chosen project, 
currently entitled "Politics in the Provinces: Female Participation in Russia's 
Regional Assemblies in the Putin Era". Both she and I would be MOST grateful for 
any help or advice. Please reply off-list to monniern at missouri.edu.

As a side note: for those of you unfamiliar with the Fulbright English Teaching  
Assistantship or Fulbright Community Service Grants in Russia, they're most 
certainly work checking out. There are five of each on offer for the 2005-2006 
academic year:
