Academics from Turkey, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Iraq are arriving at Harvard this week to join two visiting fellows as a part of the Scholars at Risk (SAR) Program, a program that allows scholars facing persecution in their home countries to conduct research at universities in safety.
