Tim BryanTim Bryan (Canada): 2016/10/14 - 2016/12/02

"The institute provided me an excellent opportunity to share my work in a collegial environment and gave me an opportunity to learn from scholars engaged in dynamic socio-legal research. I would like to thank the IISL for providing me with this opportunity and for committing to a program that allows scholars at different stages of their careers to come together and further develop their research." [+info]

Laura Binger - IISL Oñati Residence GrantLaura Binger (Canada): 2016/10/03 - 2016/12/23

"Whether learning about my colleagues’ work through presentations at the Institute or discussing methodological challenges and theoretical concepts over dinner, I have appreciated the intellectually engaging atmosphere here." [+info]

 

Eduardo Gutiérrez CorneliusEduardo Gutiérrez Cornelius (Brasil): 2016/11/04 - 2016/12/16

"My six-week stay in Oñati was extremely productive in several ways. I used my time at the Institute to work on my dissertation on Brazilian youth justice, which I undertake at the University of São Paulo's Sociology Department. The Institute's amazing library sections on crime and punishment and youth justice helped established a richer dialogue with the international literature on the subject. Surprisingly, though, I could also access books on Brazilian youth justice that I did not find in Brazil." [+info]

Francisco VértizFrancisco Vértiz (La Trobe University - Australia): 2016/10/04 - 2017/01/02

"Cabe resaltar que el IISJ es un ámbito muy propicio para realizar tareas de investigación. La biblioteca cuenta con una importantísima colección de libros y revistas de diferentes disciplinas de las ciencias sociales que se han abocado al estudio de los fenómenos jurídicos. La distribución de los materiales se encuentra muy bien organizada y las responsables del funcionamiento de la biblioteca están muy pendientes." [+info]

 

Visiting scholars / Investigadores visitantes

Raul Sanchez-UribarriRaul Sanchez-Uribarri (La Trobe University - Australia): 2016/10/11 - 2016/11/12

"I had many opportunities to engage in useful informal conversations with professors, research scholars and students living in the residencia. Professor Ferrari was an excellent host, and the visiting scholars and students offered a really collegial and friendly environment to live and work." [+info]

Susanna Lindroos-HovinheimoSusanna Lindroos-Hovinheimo (University of Helsinki - Finland): 2016/11/07 - 2016/11/19

"I did research for a presentation that I held at the Spectacular Law – Law, Literature and the Humanities Association of Australasia Conference, 8–10 December 2016 at the University of Hong Kong. The stay at IISL was very helpful for preparing the paper." [+info]

Sarah BlandySarah Blandy (University of Sheffield - UK): 2016/11/22 - 2016/12/08

"I have been to Onati before, to attend workshops, and for a very brief period as a visiting scholar in June 2015. I was determined to come back to Onati for a longer period, and was able to do this because my university gave me study leave September 2016-January 2017. The library is second to none and it is a lovely place to work, away from all the usual distractions of university life. Onati is a beautiful town, and its social life in the square and streets is enjoyable to observe and feel part of, even if you don’t speak Basque!. " [+info]

Rachel BusbridgeRachel Busbridge (Freie Universität Berlin - Germany): 2016/10/11 - 2016/12/11

"I am exceedingly grateful for the opportunity to complete my book here at the IISL –not only is Oñati a wonderful place to work (and work I have done!) but it has been an absolute pleasure to meet staff, students and other visiting scholars.
After two months, I am leaving with a manuscript in my hand and an address book of new friends." [+info]

Emma LeeEmma Lee (University of Tasmania - Australia): 2016/12/01 - 2016/12/14

"The IISL has been a place of intellectual respite for me. The Institute is embedded within the wider community of Oñati and therefore one is reminded every day that research requires a community of willing participants. With every meal and walk through the plaza, it becomes clear that the ISSL provides a culturally safe environment to think smartly and act respectfully within the wider context of living, applying and knowing the research. " [+info]

Matteo FincoMatteo Finco (University of Macerata - Italy): 2016/10/15 - 2015/12/15

"I am here to complete the research of my Phd program in Social Sciences. I am writing my thesis and the library of the IISL Institute give me the possibility to improve my work, with a lot of suggestions. There are a lots of volumes in original languages that is impossible to find in Italy, and also I can compare different books that I read in italian with the original edition available here." [+info]

Natália Bittencourt OttoNatália Bittencourt Otto (University of Sao Paulo - Brazil): 2016/11/04 - 2016/12/16

"I have spent my time in Onãti accessing the Institute’s wide library, where I found many materials concerning my research interests. Mine is not a widely-studied topic, and I had trouble finding literature about it in Brazil. I came to Oñati hoping to find readings on this subject and was not disappointed. The library is incredible and provided me more materials about my chosen object of study that I could ask for (or read in a lifetime!). " [+info]

Deborah BrockDeborah Brock (York University - Canada): 2016/12/10 - 2016/12/16

"The description of the book that I was revising, quite productively. Re-Making Normal: Governing the Social in Neoliberal Times, edited by Deborah Brock, explores the combined forces of normalization, neoliberalism, and governmental power in a manner that is accessible to undergraduate students and to readers who are new to the the governmentality approach, while providing some enlightening case studies for those who are already familiar with this analytic perspective" [+info]
