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 on the mezzanine level of Austin Hall or in Langdell Library .
