Visiting Scholars will be selected on the basis of the significance of the proposed project and their relevance to the program's announced theme, the strength of their proposals outlining a plan of work for the period of residency, and the likelihood that projects will enhance the Institute's teaching and research programs and contribute to the visiting scholar's future teaching and writing.

Visitors are expected to carry out their proposed project (research, curriculum development) at the Institute and to participate in its multidisciplinary work (colloquia, symposia).
