We welcome visiting scholars to contribute to the academic life of REDI through the exchange of ideas and research, and the creation of research collaborations with our members.

One way that visiting scholars contribute to the intellectual life of REDI is by giving a guest seminar or lecture or participating in a panel discussion. If you are interested in our visiting scholars program, please contact a REDI member within your area of research interest.
