The Junior Visiting Fellows' Conference is a bi-annual event at the Institute for Human Sciences that allows the Junior Fellows to present their work and research in a day-long conference. A traditional semester-closing celebration of the talented young researchers that is as old as the Institute itself, and is always organized by the Junior Fellows themselves. Usually, it includes Senior Fellows, Staff members, and Alumni, among others, as commentators and discussants.
