Dr. Terrence A. Alladin, associate professor of criminal justice at Lebanon Valley College, has been selected as a recipient of the Fulbright U.S. Scholar award to Belize for the 2024-25 academic year.
This is the third time in the past six years that an LVC professor has been selected as a Fulbright U.S. Scholar award recipient.
The award, which is designed to support international exchange for academic research, is supported by appropriations from the U.S. Congress and partner countries as well as private organizations’ donations.
“Having Terrence receive this international honor is a recognition of the caliber and importance of the research he has accomplished through the years on such a relevant societal topic,” said Dr. James M. MacLaren, LVC president, in a statement. “We are fortunate that he shares his passion for change with his students daily.”
Alladin will spend the year conducting research on recidivism at Belize Central Prison. The research, which is being conducted in collaboration with Galen University, will focus on the use of peacemaking criminology as a nonviolent approach to criminality. Peacemaking is a theory developed by Richard Quinney and Harold Pepinski that suggests that alternative methods can be used to create peaceful solutions to crime while also reducing violence.
“This Fulbright scholarship will significantly advance my research by providing access to resources and facilities that would otherwise be inaccessible,” Alladin said in a release. “The funding will enable me to focus on my research, collaborate with domestic and international experts and scholars in the field, enrich the quality of my work, and broaden my perspectives.”
The Fulbright Scholar Program supports academic research and professional development opportunities for college and university faculty, administrators, and researchers, as well as artists and professionals from all over the world.
