Visiting Scholars – Las Casas Institute

Each year Blackfriars Hall welcomes Visiting Research Scholars associated with its Research Institutes.

Visiting Research Scholars are granted membership of the Senior Common Room at Blackfriars, may use a desk in the office of the Research Institute with which they are associated,  have access to the Blackfriars Library with its excellent holdings in Catholic theology and in philosophy, as well access to the libraries, lectures, and seminars of the University of Oxford. They are invited to social events of the Institute and of the wider Hall. They are normally invited to give a seminar paper towards the end of their stay in Oxford.

How to Apply

If you wish to be considered for acceptance as a Visiting Research Scholar with the Las Casas Institute, you are invited to submit by email to lascasas@bfriars.ox.ac.uk a research proposal together with a Curriculum Vitae which includes your current academic affiliation, publications, etc.
