Visiting Fellows & Scholars
About the Program
The Initiative's Visiting Scholars and Fellows program invites scholars and practitioners to engage with the Initiative for across an academic year to facilitate cross-disciplinary collaboration and contribute to our ongoing research and program development. Fellows and Scholars propose and take on projects related to the Institute's mission and vision, embed into courses affiliated with the Initiative and work closely with the leadership team to create engagement opportunities with NYU students and community members.
Individuals interested in serving as a Fellow or Scholar can email purposeandflourishing@stern.nyu.edu for more information.
