The Scholar in Residence program is a series of events that let Lang students engage with a prominent academic scholar. The series features large public dialogues with leading intellectuals and scholars and small, hands-on workshops and seminars focused on immersing students in the scholar’s practices.

Pioneered by bell hooks, (née Gloria Watkins), internationally recognized scholar, poet, author, and radical thinker, this series continues with Carol Gilligan. Dr. Gilligan is a feminist, ethicist, and psychologist. Her first book, In A Different Voice, was called the “little book that started a revolution” by Harvard University Press. She was named one of the most influential people of the year by TIME Magazine. Her latest book is Joining the Resistance.
