Virtual Visiting Scholars
Carleton International assists Carleton faculty members to host visiting scholars virtually. These virtual research visits are not bound by geographical proximity, and allow for the continuity and flexibility of some types of research when travel is not possible. They are conducted in web-based environments using online communication tools for collaborating on research, projects, and various areas of interest.
- Steps to Host a Virtual Visiting Scholar
-
- Faculty host and virtual scholar complete the Visiting Scholar Request Form select virtual visit, and forward it to the school/department head for approval, who will then forward it to the faculty head for approval.
- When the approved form is received by Carleton International, a letter acknowledging the details of the virtual visit will be issued to document research activities, timeline, use of Carleton resources, and other relevant information.
- Carleton International will request an affiliate banner ID and library access as required. The faculty host’s department will request, when applicable, access to computing or any other online resources as agreed upon between the host and visiting scholar.

Academic Freedom in Relation to Laws in Other Countries
Virtual scholars living abroad are subject to the laws of their local jurisdiction. Faculty hosts and virtual scholars must be aware that there could be consequences for accessing, discussing, studying, or sharing certain subjects and materials. These consequences could include punitive actions, such as blocking websites and monitoring internet access. We strongly encourage any virtual visiting scholars who may be exposed to this risk to take all necessary precautions so that they do not incur negative personal consequences as a result of their research with Carleton. We urge any visiting scholars facing these types of challenges to contact their faculty host immediately.
