The Robert and Risa Lavizzo-Mourey Distinguished Visiting Scholars Series brings leading sociological scholars to the Boston College campus for a period of residency. During their stay, each scholar delivers a major public lecture, teaches one session of an intensive faculty/graduate student seminar, and is available for informal conversation with students and faculty. This provides a unique opportunity for members of the BC Sociology Department to dialogue and develop relations with a wide variety of important sociologists.
