Given limited resources, including limited availability of space and administrative support, the Department is only able to accommodate a small number of visiting researchers each year. Visiting researchers are offered a desk in a shared office as well as access to the McGill library and email. Unfortunately, the Department is unable to provide visiting researchers with financial support.
