US EMBASSY, SUVA:
Dr Shailendra Singh from The University of the South Pacific, and a member of the Asia Pacfic Media Network (APMN), is on his way to the United States as a Fulbright Visiting Scholar.

He is associate professor in journalism at USP's School of Pacific Arts, Communication and Education (SPACE). 

During his six-month attachment at the Tully Center for Free Speech, Newhouse School, Syracuse University, Dr Singh will conduct research on “Media Freedom, Human Rights, and Social Cohesion in Fiji: Navigating National Security Challenges in a Transitional Democracy.” 

Through exposure to US academic institutions and values, programmes like Fulbright help strengthen international partnerships, expand America’s global engagement, and build lasting collaboration on shared challenges.
