07Join the institute · Collaborate
Bring dispersed texts, methods and experience
into a community capable of dialogue.
The institute welcomes global collaboration in research, education, translation, publishing, technology, collections and city events. Every affiliation rests on review and a written project; a website logo never substitutes for evidence.
INDEXPAGE CONTENT
Choose the right affiliation, prepare the material and establish collaboration through one process.
This page separates individual affiliations from institutional partnerships and states eligibility, required material, review and the facts needed in a first working message.
01Affiliation paths
Six paths into the institute
Each affiliation specifies responsibility, duration and output, with no implication of social rank.
Study member
Enter formal courses, learning records and internal credential paths.
Project research assistant
Apply to a defined project in cataloging, translation, data, editing or fieldwork for a fixed term.
Visiting researcher
Submit a defined question, schedule, material and output plan for a specified period.
Institute-affiliated researcher
Internal affiliation after output, peer and ethics review; not a university appointment.
Institutional partner
Research, publication, course, collection or event collaboration confirmed by written agreement.
Member, assistant, visiting researcher and institute-affiliated researcher are internal designations. Without a separate employment contract they do not imply employment, university appointment, government title or regulated professional qualification.
