Fulbright Scholar Visits

Fulbright Scholar Joaquin Gonzalez Ibanez visited the University, making three presentations for students and faculty. A tenured member of the department of international law at Universidad Alphonso X el Sabio, Madrid, Spain, this year Ibanez is a Fulbright scholar at American University, in Washington, D.C. He specializes in international law, particularly civil liberties law, and his recent writings have focused on fundamentalist terrorism and organized crime in the European Union.
