We are delighted to announce the IAS Residential Faculty Fellows for 2022–2023.
Faculty fellows spend a semester in residence at the IAS. Together with our Interdisciplinary Doctoral Fellows (who spend a full academic year in residence), they constitute a supportive interdisciplinary intellectual community in which they work intensively on their own research and creative projects and gather regularly to collaborate, discuss their work, and exchange ideas.
We look forward to welcoming each of these new fellows to our growing community of scholars!
