The School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences (IAS) welcomes visiting faculty, researchers, and artists from across the U.S. and around the world. IAS hosts a limited number of visiting scholars at one time. In selecting visiting scholars each year, IAS looks for a good fit between the research interests of the prospective visitor and IAS faculty members. In 2012-13, IAS is hosting two visiting scholars.
