The Ministry of National Education in France has invited a Brigham Young University professor to lecture at the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris.
Earl H. Fry, director of graduate studies and research in the David M. Kennedy Center for International Studies, will spend three weeks this spring presenting a series of lectures on the role of the United States in the international economy and on U.S.-European community economic relations."This is a hot issue," Fry said. "The French are looking toward Europe 1992 and asking how will the U.S. react? What will be our relationship with the U.S. in the future?"
A specialist in foreign investment, Fry has taught and presented papers on economic issues at UCLA, Boise State University and at the BYU-University of Grenoble, France, semester abroad program.
He has been invited also during his May visit to France to present a series of lectures in cities such as Caen, Le Havre and Strasbourg.
Fry, a political scientist, was appointed to his current position at the Kennedy Center in 1987. He previously served as a special assistant in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative in 1983.
He has been involved in other activities such as a French lecture tour at the University of Rennes, University of Amiens, Institut d'Etudes Americaines, American Studies Conference at Nancy, and the American Instructors Conference at Marseilles. He was also a Visiting Scholar in Residence at the United Nations in Geneva.
