Postdoctoral Scholars

The Center supports an active program of visitors to Stanford University through the generous funding of The Elfenworks Foundation.

The Elfenworks Foundation Visiting Scholars Program

The Elfenworks Foundation Visiting Scholars Program brings leading scholars and practitioners to Stanford University to carry out research, teach classes, and inform public debate on poverty and inequality policy. Each year, the Elfenworks Foundation funds two visitors, a distinguished scholar who spends one or two semesters in residence delivering several public lectures and writing a book for the Controversies in Inequality book series, and a visiting lecturer who contributes to our newly developed graduate and undergraduate programs in poverty and inequality. These visitors also contribute regularly to the Elfenworks Foundation magazine Poverty, Inequality, and Policy.
