Amber Moore '11, a graduate of the College of Arts & Sciences, is one of 35 citizens selected for the 2017-2018 Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching Program.
The Fulbright Program is intended to address critical global challenges by building relations between U.S. citizens and residents of other nations.
Moore, who doubled majored in psychology and sociology during her time at Cornell, will be examining LGBTQ inclusive education in the Netherlands beginning in January. She plans to evaluate heteronormativity in Dutch education structures, with the ultimate goal being to “write a comprehensive study of the best practices, and craft a professional development module to be used throughout teacher networks.”

Artist concept of the gas giant planet WD 1856 b orbiting a white dwarf star. The planet is 7 times larger than the Earth-sized white dwarf it orbits. WD 1856 b has methane and hazes in its atmosphere, which would give it a similar color to Saturn's moon Titan. The white dwarf formed from a star that died 5 billion years ago, and has been cooling ever since, giving it an orange colour similar to the Sun.
