Dr. Lisa Thomas, Austin College organist, was named a Fulbright Canada Scholar last fall and spent January through May at the University of Alberta as The Fulbright Visiting Research Chair in Arts and Humanities. She was researching, collecting, and cataloging ancient musical elements for her project: “The Legacy of Canadian Indigenous Music as Classical Compositional Material.” The Canada-U.S. Fulbright Program promotes collaborative research relevant to both countries and provides 50 teaching and research grants to U.S. faculty and professionals each year. She is pictured with a painting by artist Aaron Paquette in the university’s Indigenous Studies Building.
