2023 Visiting Scholars
 
 

Each year a number of distinguished academics (Visiting Scholars) and professionals (Fellows) are selected to spend one or two semesters at Harvard working on their own research and writing projects. Visiting Scholars and Fellows are decided upon competitively on the basis of the applicant's qualifications, the quality of the applicant's research plans, and the relevance of both to the Center's mission and objectives.
