Any graduate student interested in sociology of gender may participate. We'll engage in several different activities during our meetings. First, participants present their research in progress and receive comments from other members of the workshop. Second, we meet with visiting scholars to discuss their work. Finally, we occasionally read and discuss important books or articles in the area of gender studies.
New members are always welcome.
The present group consists of graduate students from Comparative Literary Studies, German, Philosophy and Political Theory. We plan to read texts from disciplines including but not limited to political theory, philosophy, cultural studies, feminist and postcolonial theory, and literature with particular interest in thinkers who defy and reformulate disciplinary boundaries. Students will have the opportunity to present and discuss their current work with peers and faculty. The seminar meet every second year.
