Renee N. Knake, '99: Awarded the Fulbright Distinguished Chair in Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology
UHLC Professor Knake named Fulbright scholar
Knake, the Law Center's Joanne and Larry Doherty Chair in Legal Ethics and director of Outcomes and Assessments, was awarded the Fulbright Distinguished Chair in Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Fulbright Distinguished Chair Awards are viewed as among the most prestigious appointments in the Fulbright Scholar Program.
She will research Australian innovations in access to justice and legal ethics from January through July as part of a forthcoming book project, "Law Democratized: A Blueprint for Access to Justice."
"I'm incredibly humbled and thankful to be selected for such an important international award, and I look forward to sharing the amazing work we do at the University of Houston with the global community of Fulbright scholars," said Knake. Her Fulbright award not only supports the research and writing she will engage in during her time at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology but also public lecture opportunities throughout Australia.
The award is designed to foster collaboration between Australia and the United States to stimulate interest in and increase innovation and entrepreneurship.
At the Law Center, Knake teaches Constitutional Law and Professional Responsibility.
