Centre for International Studies - People
Centre for International Studies drew together a wide range of individuals both from within the Department of Politics and International Relations and from across other parts of Oxford. A number of those engaged in collaborative research projects were based at other institutions in the UK and abroad.
CIS also had an active programme of academic visitors. Individuals who applied to CIS first had to identify an academic member of staff to act as a Departmental Sponsor (in the case of Academic Visitors), or as a Departmental Mentor (in the case of Student Visitors).
