The Australian Politics Studies Centre’s Visitor’s Program aims to bring scholars from around Australia to the Australian National University’s School of Politics and International relations. Located in the national capital, within close proximity to the national Parliament and all of Australia’s major research and cultural institutions, this visitor’s program offers an excellent opportunity to undertake fieldwork and to engage with more than 70 political scientists based at the ANU. Visitors will be given the opportunity to present their work to the ANU scholarly community.
