Visiting scholars
We host visiting scholars working within children's literature for periods ranging from one week to one year. Visiting scholars join a friendly and supportive community of colleagues and students and participate in all of the CLRC's and the Faculty of Education's activities. They benefit from ample work space, IT support, and two libraries with excellent collections of children's literature and reference texts, in addition to the Cambridge University Library.
As being a visiting scholar at Cambridge is highly attractive the CLRC is only able to host a limited number at a time. We typically receive applications a year in advance. Please note that visiting scholar status does not include supervision.
See the About the Faculty of Education Visiting Scholars page or contact Karen Coats (ksc38@cam.ac.uk) for further information about the role of visiting scholars or application procedures.
