Visiting Scholar and Fellow Program
The Nam Center for Korean Studies offers affiliation to scholars and fellows visiting the University of Michigan for an extended period. Eligible affiliates include faculty holding appointments at other universities, researchers at research institutions, professionals from media and civic organizations, government officials, and artists, who seek to conduct research on topics related to Korea. Residencies typically last 12 months but may be renewable for an additional year. During the residency, the center provides scholars with access to the U-M academic community and its renowned library system, and welcomes their educational, intellectual, and artistic contributions to both the university and the larger Ann Arbor community. The Nam Center offers two types of affiliation: (1) Visiting Scholars and (2) Visiting Fellows.
