SELECTION PROCESS: A Selection Committee consisting of members and individuals from CHRLP's partner network will be formed. Candidates will be chosen on a rolling basis.

The visitors are expected to bring new ideas and approaches to the life and work of the Centre. The program expects that Fellows will spend the entire duration of their fellowship in residence, preferably during the academic term. While in residence, Fellows are strongly encouraged to organize and participate in programs and events organized by students, the Centre and the Faculty and may be asked to teach or facilitate a seminar.
