The Center has hosted a number of psychologists with cross-cultural interests, choosing Western Washington University and the Center for various professional and personal reasons. Such persons are usually provided office space and adequate assistance and secretarial support from Department of Psychology resources. Normally it is not possible to offer financial assistance to visitors. Rather, visiting scholars are expected to provide their own financial resources through their home universities or agencies. Teaching is also possible, but usually in the form of guest lectures.
Visitors frequently present symposia or otherwise interact with faculty and students.
It is also possible to arrange faculty exchanges. Interested faculty should contact either Walter J. Lonner , Director of the Center, or Robert M. Thorndike , Chair of the Psychology Department, for further details about the different ways in which visiting the Center may be arranged.
