Sara and Asa Shapiro Scholar in Residence

The Sara and Asa Shapiro Scholar in Residence fellowship is the Center's most prestigious invitation-only fellowship offered by the USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research. It enables one esteemed senior international scholar per year to spend a two-week residency at USC to engage in consultation, conversation, and research with Holocaust and genocide research resources available at the university. Fellows have access to the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive and other specialized research materials. The fellowship brings distinguished scholars to USC to advance their research projects while contributing to the intellectual community of the Center for Advanced Genocide Research. Each Shapiro Scholar delivers a public lecture and engages with faculty, students, and the broader scholarly community during their residency.
