DLC Scholar-in-Residence
A DLC Member who agrees to be the primary faculty contact for a DLC Scholar-in-Residence is asked to organize at least one public event (in English or in the language of their choice) and encourage engagement by the visiting scholar with the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV academic community.
Scholars-in-Residence are usually persons with significant academic, literary or artistic qualifications. Besides conducting their own research at the David Lam Centre, they are also expected to participate in the ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV academic community and in wider community activities by attending lectures, workshops and colloquia, and presenting original research.
