The Institute's Visiting Fellowship annually brings to the University two scholars whose research addresses issues arising at the intersection of faith and culture. During the academic year, each Fellow takes up residence at Boston College and makes two public seminar presentations on the work produced during the period of the grant. The Institute Fellows contribute to the intellectual exchange and inquiry within the University as they advance their own research.
