General & Applied Linguistics Programme
Visiting Scholar information
We receive a number of requests every year from overseas scholars seeking affiliation with us while
they are on sabbatical / study leave. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to respond positively to
more than a very small number of such requests. To be successful, scholars are advised that we need
to receive:
1.
A statement of the intended dates of the visit and the duration of the visit;
2.
A clear description of objectives for the visit, including specific indications of overlap in
research activities between the proposed visitor and at least one staff member of the
department;
3.
An indication of how the visitor might contribute to the activities of our programmes,
including possible seminar titles or areas in which guest lectures could be provided;
4.
A current curriculum vitae.
In addition please note that it is not expected that visiting scholars audit or follow papers within our
programmes. Potential visiting scholars should also note that we do not provide any visa assistance
and that obtaining a visa to enter New Zealand can be a slow process.
Requests should be directed to the Convenor, Dr Diane Johnson ([email protected]).
