Graduate Student Workshops in the Humanities and Social Sciences

About CAS

The Council on Advanced Studies sponsors graduate research workshops in the humanities and social sciences. These interdisciplinary workshops are designed to bring together faculty and graduate students from the University of Chicago and the wider Chicago area to create scholarly dialogue, to encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration, and to foster exchange of ideas. The main emphasis of these workshops is the presentation of graduate student dissertation work in progress. For 2011-2012, there are a total of seventy-three workshops, ranging across a wide spectrum of interests and disciplines, many with interdisciplinary aims, including performance studies, cultural studies, philosophy, political science, Latin American, American and European history, and art and politics of East Asia. Individuals interested in participating should contact the workshop coordinator, the faculty sponsor, or visit the workshop’s blog.  Read the full Council Overview here.
