Barnard Global works closely with the Barnard community to enhance and broaden the College’s engagement with the world. The office provides opportunities for faculty to expand their teaching and research through global partners and perspectives, both abroad as well as through the rich global networks of New York City. It facilitates faculty travel abroad and the hosting of international scholars at Barnard. Through study abroad and other international and global opportunities, Barnard Global challenges students to think and act well beyond the Barnard gates and to investigate their role in a rapidly changing world.

Faculty interested in sponsoring a graduate student or colleague from outside the United States as a research scholar or professor through a Barnard department or center should consult the instructions on sponsoring a J-1 scholar. 

Faculty are encouraged to nominate distinguished international scholars for the Weiss Fellowship.  The Fellowship is for a short-term visit to Barnard to present a lecture or other organized event for the community that is global in nature.  The scholar must not be a US citizen or residing long-term in the US.  More information on the nomination process is here. 

Barnard is a founding member of the New University in Exile Consortium, a growing group of schools with The New School as the lead institution. Each consortium institution fully funds an international scholar at risk at Barnard for a period of two years.

Barnard faculty who are interested in hosting a scholar at risk through the New University in Exile Consortium should submit the following to global@barnard.edu:

• A statement of support noting the scholar’s academic profile and how the scholar can be integrated into the department and the broader Barnard community over the next two academic years.  The expectation is that the scholar will engage in some combination of research and teaching while at Barnard.  The nominating faculty member or members should commit to acting as a mentor for the scholar and meeting on a regular basis.  

• An academic CV for the scholar.

• A Statement of Risk from the scholar, explaining their current circumstances, location, and passport/visa status.
