CCU professor awarded Fulbright Fellowship to develop an English theater program in China

Steve Earnest believes in building a global appreciation for theater production. In his role as a professor in Coastal Carolina University’s Department of Theater, he’s traveled to Germany, Iceland, England and China over the past several years for teaching engagements, workshops and academic research.

As a result of the knowledge and understanding he’s gained in that travel, Earnest has been awarded a prestigious Fulbright U.S. Scholar Award for the 2019-20 academic year. Earnest will teach and develop an English theater curriculum at Nanjing Normal University in China, where he has taught in the past through CCU’s cooperative partnership with the China Center for International Economic Exchanges (CCIEE).

“I’m thrilled to have earned this honor. I’ve been interested in a Fulbright for a very long time, and to finally land one is exciting,” said Earnest.
