Handbooks

Scholars at Risk has created four handbooks intended to help network members and scholars with hosting, speaking arrangements, and Student Advocacy Seminars. The How to Host, Speaker Series, and Scholar publications were made possible by support from the Vivian G. Prins Foundation and by the scholars, individuals, and campuses who shared their experiences.

Student Advocacy Seminar Handbook

SAR’s Student Advocacy Seminars are an exciting experiential-learning program designed to give students the opportunity to develop human rights research and advocacy skills through direct engagement on behalf of threatened members of the global higher education community. Learn more about

Scholar Guide

The Scholar Handbook offers advice and guidance to assist scholars in their transition to a new university community and, perhaps most importantly, in determining their short-term and long-term plans for the future.

Vivian G. Prins/SAR Speaker Series Handbook

SAR's Speaker Series Handbook provides guidance to assist institutions, organizations and affiliates interested in inviting scholars to speak on campus through the Speaker Series.

How to Host Handbook

Scholars at Risk's How to Host Handbook is primarily for officers, administrators, faculty and others at higher education institutions as they explore their interest in, plan for, and host threatened scholars and other intellectuals as visiting scholars on their campuses.
