The IRW is an ideal place to situate
individual projects within a community of scholars who meet at
a weekly seminar to discuss their work-in-progress as it addresses
a common theme. IRW Visiting Scholars typically hold academic
appointments elsewhere but wish to be in residence at the Institute
for a semester or a year. Although Visiting Scholar appointments
are unsalaried, they include access to libraries and recreational
facilities, a private office, and participation in university
lectures, colloquia and seminars. Scholars also receive university
email accounts and modest photocopying and long-distance telephone
support.
Information about this
year's Visiting Scholars is now available.
Lists of visiting
scholars from past years are also available.
Visiting Scholars are joined in the IRW's weekly seminar by Rutgers faculty and graduate students whose work explores the seminar theme from a variety of disciplinary and methodological perspectives. In addition to engaging in dialogues about fellow seminar members' work-in-progress, the lunch session after each seminar provides an opportunity for informal networking. The 2006-2007 seminar theme is "Bodies and Health." Additional information about future
seminar themes is available.
General information about applying
to the visiting scholars program is available on the 2007-2008
Call for Applications.
Please contact the
IRW if you have any questions about our visiting scholar program.
