The Arts & Science Global Distinguished Professorship was created to bring leading global scholars to Arts & Science as visiting faculty on a recurrent, multi-year basis. These internationally acclaimed academics from institutions outside the United States enhance the scholarship and global reputation of Arts & Science and New York University.
Global Distinguished Professors build extensive relations with both faculty and students, joining the extended faculty of Arts & Science departments as fully-involved teachers and researchers.
Global Distinguished Professors' work complements current Arts & Science strengths, creating powerful constellations of the world's leading scholars on a broad range of topics and fields.
