French Scholars Lecture Series

Sponsors:  Consulate General of France (Vancouver) & Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies

The Consulate General of France in Vancouver has partnered with the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies (PWIAS) at the University of British Columbia to bring leading French scholars to UBC in a program entitled the French Scholars Lecture Series, inviting outstanding academics from France, from different disciplinary and research backgrounds, to participate in open dialogue with their Canadian counterparts. The visiting scholar will present one public lecture and have discussions with UBC scholars.

 

This call for proposals allows UBC scholars to nominate a French scholar to be part of the program.  Members of the community can also partner with a UBC scholar to propose a guest scholar.  The scholar’s participation in seminars, symposia or informal discussions is encouraged, under the responsibility of the host professor at UBC. The Consulate General of France in Vancouver will cover airfare and accommodation for each guest, for a visit of 5-7 days in Vancouver, through a grant of up to 2000 euro per guest.  Six scholars will be considered for 2014.
