Graduate Workshops in the Humanities and Social Sciences
The Council on Advanced Studies sponsors graduate research workshops in the humanities and social sciences. The aim of these workshops in to bring together faculty and graduate students from the University of Chicago and the wider Chicago area in an effort to create scholarly dialogue and to foster exchange of ideas. For 2007-2008, there are a total of seventy-one workshops, ranging across a wide spectrum of interests and disciplines, many with interdisciplinary aims, including performance studies, mass culture, Latin American and Caribbean anthropology, and art and politics in East Asia.

The application process for workshop renewals and new workshops for the 2008 - 2009 academic year is now closed. This is an annual process. Applications are only accepted Spring Quarter for the following academic year. Award announcements will be sent to sponsoring faculty in June.
