Dr Jochen Fried, SJSU Distinquished Visiting Professor, will be working with Lucas GSB Faculty

Dr. Jochen Fried, Director of Education Initiatives and the International Study Program in Global Citizenship at the Salzburg Global Seminar, is spending the Fall 2007 semester at San Jose State University as a Fulbright Senior Scholar-in-Residence. During his stay Jochen will be serving as a Distinguished Visiting Professor and will focus on learning more about the University, helping SJSU enhance its efforts to globalize the campus, and strengthening our institutional partnership with the Salzburg Global Seminar.

Dr. Fried will be co-teaching a new course on Global Citizenship with Dr. William Reckmeyer and collaborating on a book addressing the same subject, both of which will be based on their work together in Salzburg. Dr. Fried is the former director of the Salzburg Global Seminar’s Universities Project. Prior to joining the Seminar in 1998, he worked as head of programs at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna and as senior officer in the secretariat of the German Science Council in Cologne. He serves as an expert for national and inter-national institutions and organizations including the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Culture; the European Union; the Council of Europe; the European Cultural Foundation; the Open Society Institute; and Eurydice.
