Visiting Scholars
The Institute often invites scholars from other institutions, writers, and artists to visit for a period of a few weeks, or for one or more semesters. These visitors enrich our Irish Studies community through their research, teaching, public talks, performances, or readings as well as through their active involvement in our community—building relationships that are the foundation of future collaborations, research projects, and conferences around the world.
