Visiting Scholars and Scholarly

Thirty-five visitors graced the offices of the Basque

them stayed a few hours or a day, but over half remained to
do research. Their visits lasted from one week to four
months.

May 28, to continue his research on Basque-American authors.
He was the recipient of a grant from the Universidad del
Pais Vasco (UPV).

premium, but we never lack for fascinating
conversation.
