<\/a>Cavalieri<\/p><\/div>Gender and housing are crucial issues in Ecuador due to an extreme gender pay gap, rapid urbanization, and the inadequacy of housing. Cavalieri proposes using socio-legal methods to conduct her research \u2014 working closely with citizen activists, nongovernmental organizations, local academic experts, and government officials.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe housing issues that are central to my Fulbright proposal are rooted in the same questions of citizen engagement in and government response to the problems of urban life that form my research at home,\u201d Cavalieri said. \u201cMy Toledo experiences will shape my research in Quito, and my time in Ecuador will enrich my work in Toledo.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cavalieri teaches property law at the University. She is a leading expert on human trafficking, land reform and land banking. Her research focuses on feminist legal theory and economic, social and cultural rights. <\/p>\n
She is a graduate of the University of Virginia, where she received a bachelor of arts degree in bioethics, and the University of California at Berkeley, where she received a law degree.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing selected for a Fulbright is one of the highest honors that an academic can achieve,\u201d said D. Benjamin Barros, dean of the UT College of Law. \u201cDuring her Fulbright, Professor Cavalieri will be doing important research on the impact of women\u2019s advocacy in improving housing access and quality.\u00a0She also will be a wonderful ambassador for the College of Law and the University.\u201d<\/p>\n
Recipients of Fulbright awards are selected on the basis of academic and professional achievement, as well as record of service and leadership potential in their respective fields. <\/p>\n
Cavalieri will spend the 2018-19 academic year in Ecuador. She is one of only a handful of law professors at the University to receive this honor.<\/p>\n
The Fulbright Scholar Program offers grants to American faculty, administrators and professionals to teach and conduct research abroad. The program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State\u2019s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and administered by the Center for International Studies and Programs at The University of Toledo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
