Applications will be accepted from outstanding scholars in the humanities and social sciences, as well as from established writers, artists, filmmakers, or architects working on projects relating to Latin America who are stellar teachers. 

Appointments are for either one or two months during the 2018-2019 academic year (September 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019).
