FHI Short Residencies bring distinguished scholars to campus for intensive engagement with the Duke humanities community. In addition to public talks and other events, our Scholars in Residence lead reading groups, visit classes, hold office hours, and interact in other formal and informal ways with our faculty and students. A legacy FHI program, the Residencies have been relaunched in 2023-24 thanks to the generous support of the Schiff Family Dean of Humanities and the Arts.
