Faculty

Current CEERES faculty are drawn from 14 disciplines in the humanities, 6 in the social and natural sciences, and 6 professional schools with expertise in almost every country and region of the CEERES area.

CEERES strives to make connections between faculty across disciplines, the result of which has been some excellent interdisciplinary programming. While we make every attempt to introduce ourselves to new faculty and visiting scholars whose teaching or research touches upon CEERES languages and cultures, we know that our roster may not be comprehensive.

If you or someone you know should be added to our list of affiliated faculty, please let us know. We welcome all faculty into our CEERES community.
