CSUN Professor Receives Fulbright Award

Meyer is one of approximately 2,000 U.S. grantees who will travel abroad for the 1998-99 academic year through the Fulbright Program.

"I am delighted to teach in Germany and have an opportunity to continue my research on German/Jewish mixed marriages in Nazi Germany," said Meyer.

Meyer will be conducting his preliminary work and research at CSUN through February and then leave for Germany in March.

The Fulbright Program, established in 1946 under Congressional legislation introduced by the late Senator J. William Fulbright, is designed "to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries."

More than 4,000 grants are awarded each year to American students, teachers and scholars to study, teach and conduct research around the world. Individuals are selected on the basis of academic and professional qualifications, as well as their ability and willingness to share ideas and experiences with people of diverse cultures.

Meyer is an authority on German and European history, in particular Nazi Germany and anti-Semitism. He served as a consultant for "The Leopold Stokowski Era" radio documentary, as well as a music contributor for the "Degenerate Art" exhibit at the Los Angeles County Art Museum. Meyer is author of the book "The Politics of Music in the Third Reich."
