2025年秋季，霍林斯将欢迎著名的印度戏剧艺术家、小说家和学者阿努拉达·马尔瓦作为富布赖特驻校学者。 从2025年8月到12月，马尔瓦将吸引学生、教师和更广泛的罗阿诺克社区，为文学、表演和社会参与戏剧提供新的见解。

“我们很高兴欢迎Marwah博士来到霍林斯，”校长Mary Dana Hinton说。 “我们期待着她的全球视野，她的存在将在许多方面加强我们与更广泛的罗阿诺克社区的持续、牢固的伙伴关系。 我们很幸运之前有富布赖特的教职员工他们的合作在实习结束后仍在继续。 我相信我们与马尔瓦博士的经历将是持久的和变革的。”

“马尔瓦博士在社区和正义为基础的戏剧艺术方面的丰富经验和专业知识，将通过建立持久的桥梁和促进跨文化理解，帮助我们的校园和更大的社区融入富布赖特项目的价值观，”诺拉·基泽·贝尔教务长劳拉·a·麦克拉里补充道。

以富布赖特的成功为基础

Marwah’s residency builds on Hollins’ growing momentum in the Fulbright program. The university is celebrating a milestone year in 2025-26 with two undergraduate Fulbright Scholars: Blair Turner ’25 and Ellie Song ’24. For the first time in its history, Hollins celebrated two 富布赖特学者 in a single year, following the university’s first undergraduate Fulbright recipient in many years during 2024-25.   

富布赖特驻校学者项目将杰出的国际学者带到美国各机构，通过教学和研究增进国际了解，加强学术项目。 该项目代表了该大学致力于全球参与的另一个方面。 Hollins previously hosted Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Isabell Kingori from Kenya in 2021-22, a collaboration that led to the Hollins faculty-led study abroad program in Kenya focused on gender and women’s studies and public health.

马尔瓦将与教职员工和学生分享宝贵的见解，因为该大学为计划于2027年举行的由教职员工领导的印度戏剧之旅制定了课程和时间表。

创新教学和社区伙伴关系

During her residency, Marwah will offer a special topics performance course using Euripides’ 美狄亚 to explore how classical narratives can be adapted to foster democratic dialogue and address contemporary issues. 本课程以她2019年的作品为基础，灵感来自于她之前在富布赖特-尼赫鲁奖学金期间开发的《万物剧院》。

A key component of Marwah’s residency will be her collaboration with community partner Ursula’s Café, a nonprofit café and community arts space in downtown Roanoke. Plans include organizing a community reading of 七个, a documentary theatre piece conceived by Carol Mack and written by seven award-winning playwrights: Paula Cizmar, Catherine Filloux, Gail Kriegel, Carol K. Mack, Ruth Margraff, Anna Deavere Smith, and Susan Yankowitz. 该剧讲述了七位女性为世界各地妇女、家庭和儿童的福祉而勇敢奋斗的真实故事。 This collaboration will provide students with real-world experience in community-based theatre while connecting global stories of women’s advocacy to the local Roanoke community.

展望未来的全球参与

“Dr. Marwah brings the perfect combi赌球在线 of scholarly expertise and practical experience to help our students understand the transformative potential of participatory theater,” said Wendy-Marie Martin, theatre department chair, who will serve as the primary contact for the scholar-in-residence. “Her work demonstrates how classical texts can speak to contemporary audiences and create opportunities for meaningful dialogue about social issues.”
