Graduate Student Workshops in the Humanities and Social Sciences

About CAS

In 1982, the University of Chicago pioneered a new dimension in graduate education—interdisciplinary workshops that bring together students and faculty in the Divinity School, Humanities Division, and the Social Sciences Division for ongoing and collaborative exchange of ideas around particular areas of interest. By providing graduate students with a forum for presenting their research and writing, the workshops, which have been widely replicated at other universities, have become an important part of the UChicago graduate education experience. Workshops facilitate the dissertation-writing process and create opportunities for professionalization as they encourage students to engage rigorously with their own and their fellow students’ work through discussion, debate, evaluation, and critical feedback. Read the full Council Overview here.

Workshops

This section contains workshop descriptions, contact information, and blogs. Most workshops maintain individual blogs that contain a wealth of information: statement of purpose, calendar of events, and related links.  If you are interested in participating in a workshop please contact the workshop coordinator for more information.
