Travis W. Holloway has been awarded a Fulbright U.S. Student Program scholarship to study philosophy in Germany. He was named a Graduate Fellow by the Fulbright Commission and will receive a research grant to study at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg. Holloway is one of more than 1,500 U.S. citizens who will travel abroad through the Fulbright U.S. Student Program during the 2010-2011 academic year.
“Travis is a thoughtful and inventive student who thinks globally about international trends in philosophy,” said Department of Philosophy Chair Robert P. Crease. “He spends as much time as he can in Europe, brushing up on languages and studying with preeminent philosophers there. This is a wonderful opportunity for him, and he is the perfect person for it.”
Holloway entered the Ph.D. program in philosophy at Stony Brook in fall 2007. He holds a B.A. from Belmont University and an M.A. from Boston College, where he received the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences School Award. He has studied at the University of Paris-IV (La Sorbonne), the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg in Germany, and Lingnan University in Hong Kong.
