PROFESSOR MORAN VISITS KAZAKHSTAN AS FULBRIGHT SPECIALIST Professor Rachel Moran was invited to Kazakhstan this spring to serve as a Fulbright Specialist for Kunaev University in Almaty, class focused on experiential learning and criminal law. “I was excited when I learned I had been selected for the program because I have never traveled to Central Asia or had a chance to teach in an international setting," Moran said. "My first Fulbright award was a research-based award, so I didn’t end up teaching any classes." In 2024, Moran spent four months as a Fulbright Scholar in Santiago, Chile researching protests and policing at the Universidad de los Andes. “In Kazakhstan, I will introduce students to trial skills in the context of a hypothetical criminal case and then help students develop those skills by putting on a mock trial,” she said. “This is a fairly standard experience for U.S. law students but innovative for Kazakhstan."
