Spanish term
cátedra extraordinaria
Spanish to English
Art/Literary
Education / Pedagogy
A Mexican university has created an ongoing film-related programme of activities that invites directors and film personalities to present seminars etc four times a year. It has been translated as a 'chair' but I think a 'master class' would be better as it is not a permanent position. Anyone have any better ideas?

extraordinary chair
That's why it's called extraordinary - because it is not permanent.

Joseph Tein
: This sounds like a term for a faculty position -- for an individual faculty member -- rather than than the type of program of seminars that fionn is describing.

Extraordinary Lecture(s)
They are extraordinary because they are beyond the scope of the ordinary curriculum.
The term is impeccably accurate for what you describe, and so should be the translation.

visiting scholar/ visiting chair
Either is often used to describe people who have a high ranking but temporary position at a university. The Department regularly organizes conferences and talks by guest speakers. It also regularly hosts visiting faculty including the Ginebre Serra Visiting Chair in Catalan Studies, the Eusko Ikaskuntza Visiting Professor in Basque Culture, and the Consello de Cultura Galega Visiting Professor. https://www.stanford.edu/dept/DLCL/cgi-bin/web/dept/ilac; History Department Chair Research Team 06/ 1995—01/ 2002 ...
