She will begin teaching in this month\u00a0and return for the summer near July.<\/p>\n<p>This is not Miller\u2019s first experience with the Fulbright program. She was the recipient of the Fulbright AIDS and AIDS-Related Research Award in 2015. She spent the spring 2015 semester at her host institution, Uganda Christian University. There, she conducted research on the association between youths\u2019 exposure to sexual media content and their sexual attitudes and behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Miller says her purpose is twofold. \u201cIn addition to the research, it is about developing relationships and collaboration across national borders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miller also has another connection to East Africa, more specifically to Kenya. She has completed research there on issues related to health communication and HIV since as early as 2005.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy husband and I were missionaries,\u201d Miller said. \u201cThrough a series of circumstances, I found myself at a Christian university, Daystar University, with a large and well-known communication department. The school hosted an International Communication Association conference and that\u2019s where I was. Eventually, I got my master\u2019s degree there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s excited to return.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople I know requested the U.S. embassy invite me to teach again this year\u201d she said. \u201cIt is very exciting and I\u2019m excited to have it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miller has documented her travels and encounter from her 2015 sabbatical on her blog, <a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.eastafricansabbatical.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.eastafricansabbatical.blogspot.com<\/a>.
