One of CISRUL’s core aims is to engage with scholars throughout the world and across disciplines.  To this end, we host visiting scholars throughout our annual seminar series, and we invite at least one prestigious scholar a year to come to Aberdeen and give a series of Guest Lectures.  In the past, we have hosted theologian Stanley Hauerwas, political theorist William E. Connolly, and sociologist Jeffrey Alexander.

For more information on our previous visiting scholars and their guest lectures, please see the dropdown menus for this page.

All upcoming visiting scholars will be noted in our Seminar Series schedule for the current year.

International Expert Advisors

The POLITICO International Expert Advisors (IEA) meet annually and review the overall progress of the doctoral programme.

The group will provide expert advice to the STSB to guide and inform the selection and training procedures implemented by the programme.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research & Innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 754326.
