Global Students & Scholars at Risk
Western is committed to supporting scholars facing threats to their lives, liberty and well-being in their home countries due to events beyond their control.
Support for Displaced Scholars
For scholars who have been displaced and suffering threats to their lives, liberty and well-being seeking a teaching or research arrangement.
Working in partnership with the international Scholars at Risk network and the Institute of International Education's Scholar Rescue Fund, Western supports up to five displaced scholars at any one time. Supports include:
- 1- or 2-year temporary full-time appointments for faculty
- wrap-around support services to help faculty arrive safely, settle in and thrive.
Additional opportunities may be available for short-term visiting scholars (including faculty or postdoctoral scholars) for 6-12 months. Please contact us for more information.
