Exciting New Addition to the College’s Academic Program
The College is delighted to announce a new collaborative venture with Green College: (the) Emeritus Visiting Scholars in Residence Program
The Emeritus College will henceforth nominate Visiting Scholars who are distinguished in their fields and who have a proven track record of interdisciplinary practice or engagement to be a resident at Green College. Visitors will be invited to be either a Green College Patricia Merivale Visitor in Residence or a Cecil H. and Ida Green (CIG) Visiting Professor. In terms of residence, the Merivale Visitors are invited for a month-long stay, while the CIGs stay for one or two weeks.
A feature of each residence will be a public event led by the visitor in each College. The visit will allow for extensive collaboration with members of the Emeritus College and engagement with graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, UBC faculty and the broader community. The intent is to foster collaboration and the interchange of ideas on interdisciplinary topics with scholars from outside British Columbia. To provide the greatest impact the Visitor’s field of interest should have broad appeal to members of both Colleges.
The Fall deadline for nominations is October 17, 2025.
If you are a member of the Emeritus College and would like to nominate a Visitor as part of this program then please contact Professor Emeritus Donald Fisher donald.fisher@ubc.ca, Chair of the Emeritus Visiting Scholars in Residence Program Committee
