Smith College’s Visiting Scholars Program
serves to enrich campus intellectual activities, nurture the college’s commitment
to cultural diversity, and further its goal of being a world college. International
visitors have extended the range of global experiences the college can offer its
community. We consider programs enabling scholars from around the world to become
part of Smith’s intellectual life to be a vital constituent of the college’s
rich, diverse, and vibrant academic environment. Likewise, we are committed to supporting
and enhancing the opportunities for our own faculty members to visit other countries
through the exchange arrangements we have with the University of Hamburg and the University of Geneva.
The Visiting Scholars Program is overseen
by the Associate Dean of the Faculty in the Provost’s Office, in conjunction
with the Visiting Scholars Committee, an ad hoc faculty committee. The 2011-12 members
of the Committee are Dominique Thiébaut, Gregory White, and Suzanne Zhang-Gottschang. Questions about the Visiting Scholars Program may be directed to
Danielle Carr Ramdath, Associate Dean of the Faculty, at dramdath@smith.edu or
ext. 3000, or any member of the Committee.
The University of Hamburg
We have both a short and long-term faculty exchange program with the University of
Hamburg. For these visits, Hamburg proposes visitors, and the Visiting Scholars
Committee works with the appropriate Smith department or program on hosting details.
Any costs incurred related to these visits are covered out of the college’s
Visiting Scholars Fund.
The University of Geneva
We have a short-term faculty exchange program with the University of
Geneva. For these visits, Geneva proposes visitors, and the Visiting Scholars Committee works with the appropriate Smith department or program on hosting details. Any costs incurred related to these visits are covered out of the college's Visiting Scholars Fund.
Other Visiting Scholars
Most years, funds remain for a few additional visits beyond these official exchange
arrangements. If you are interested in arranging for a visiting scholar to come
to Smith, please review the following information and complete the Visiting Scholar
Request Form (see below). Please note that all visits
are subject to the visitor obtaining an appropriate work visa as directed by the
Office for International Students and Scholars.
