DiotimaThe Professors-at-Large initiative enables people who have achieved intellectual distinction to visit the university and roam widely across disciplines and the intellectual life of the campus community.

The program aims to attract eminent visitors to the University on a regular and coordinated basis. Professors-at-large are not necessarily academics, they may also be writers, public intellectuals and artists.Tasks include presenting public lectures and advanced seminars, and consultations with scholars and students.
