The visiting professorships, scholars in residence and other associated programmes are intended to create supportive and productive relationships with individuals and institutions elsewhere – with a particular emphasis on appropriate partnerships in other parts of the South. These relationships are critical in advancing many of the Institute’s aims. Visitors are expected to contribute actively to the intellectual life of the Institute, including in supporting doctoral students and postdocs. For aspirant young scholars, the circulation of intellectually engaging visitors through the Institute is critical to the experience of a dynamic, cosmopolitan academy.
