IRLE Visiting Scholars
IRLE Visiting Scholars spend from a month to a year in residence at IRLE working on a research project and interacting with UCLA scholars and students.
Our research network is global!
For more information on UCLA’s visiting scholar program please see the UCLA Graduate Division.
Research Affiliates
IRLE Research Affiliates form a community of scholars conducting research and dialogue on issues of work and employment. Though most are based at UCLA, the IRLE network extends nationally and globally.
