Visiting Fellows
Scholars and practitioners from around the world are selected by ILSP in a formal competition each February to spend the coming academic year or one term pursuing an innovative research project of their own at Harvard. ILSP is a resident program—our visiting researchers are housed in offices in our suite on the third floor of 125 Mt. Auburn St.
