INTRODUCING THE INSTITUTE OF LIBERAL ARTS AND SCIENCES VISITING FELLOWS AT THE INSTITUTE 2018-9 Visiting fellows are scholars with international reputations from diverse backgrounds, disciplines and locations. Our fellowships provide opportunities for them to spend time at Keele working with their academic partners on exciting innovative interdisciplinary projects. 12 Our fellows are warmly welcomed and enjoy the space away from everyday pressures which Keele offers. They play a full part in the life of the Institute and the wider University, providing dissemination events to share their work in progress or contributing a Grand Challenges lecture. In this way the Fellowship scheme promotes innovative interdisciplinary research and helps to nurture enduring collaborations and friendships.
