Experience in Oñati: 

My visit to IISL has been remarkable. It will take me some weeks to fully appreciate all the dimensions of this creative space: the lively graduate students and visiting scholars from all over the world, the amazing walks and beauty of Onati to crystallize an argument or get out of my head, and the calm and well-resourced facilities in which to work. The chemistry of all these pieces together has made my stay incredibly memorable. Thanks to each and every staff who made this opportunity possible and for the warm welcome.
