What is the EHESS?
The École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS; School of Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences) is one of France’s leading institutions of higher education, focusing on the humanities and humanistic social sciences. It houses over 800 scholars in a wide range of fields, organized into forty centers, institutes, and research groups.
Visiting Professorship
Each academic year, USC and the EHESS hosted a faculty member from the partner institution as a Visiting Professor for one month. Applications for these Visiting Professor positions were solicited by the sending institution via an open call for proposals. The successful candidate received a stipend to cover travel and living expenses, paid by the host institution.
