Visiting Fellows

Each year ECEP hosts four to five Visiting Fellows from the region. During their stay, Visiting Fellows become acquainted with the Graduate Faculty and other East-coast universities, their curricula, approaches to teaching, and with the organization and management of American institutions of higher learning. The visitors also pursue their own research, utilizing the New School's and New York City's resources. At the same time, their visits provide the New School community and the New York public with an opportunity, through ECEP's Lecture Series, to get acquainted with the problems of socio- economic transitions taking place in the region. Besides giving a talk, the Visiting Fellows are regularly featured in the New York Chapter of the Democracy Seminar and contribute to ECEP's quarterly Bulletin.
