Guest Teachers

Professor Glenn W. Most, University of Chicago

Whenever needed, and often just to enrich the discussion, expertise is brought in from the outside. ECLA students are taught, not just by the faculty and postdoctoral fellows, but by a stream of guest teachers who join the discussion for a day, a week or a term.
