University of Iowa Associate Professor of History Michaela Hoenicke Moore, a Fulbright Visiting Scholar in American Studies at the University of Innsbruck, has given a number of invited public lectures on U.S. foreign policy across Austria during her spring/summer 2017 Fulbright tenure.

On June 1, Hoenicke Moore presented a lecture at the Styrian Whitsun Dialogue ("Geist und Gegenwart. Pfingstdialog Steiermark), which included the former Austrian chancellor, the current vice chancellor, high-ranking political and religious officials, Austrian and U.S. ambassadors and diplomats, foreign correspondents from both countries, and other prominent opinion leaders. The theme of the conference was "Europe.USA.3.0.Values, Interests, Perspectives," and she spoke on the motivations and outcomes of the Marshall Plan at a forum on the post-World War II European Recovery Program.

Hoenicke Moore's public scholarship in Europe in 2017 includes another highly prestigious honor—she has received a 2017 Obama Fellowship through the Obama Institute for Transnational American Studies at the University of Mainz in Germany. The fellowship offers financial support, office space, and facilities for visiting scholars. Hoenicke Moore will work with graduate students and deliver at least one public lecture, in addition to pursuing her own individual research.
