Visiting Scholars

Visiting Scholars may come to the Center for a semester, a full academic year, or a twelve-month period. Though the principal purpose of the program is to allow applicants to pursue their own research, Visiting Scholars are invited to join a vibrant intellectual community by participating in the many other programs the Center offers.
