3CT Dissertation Writing Group 2026–27
Wednesdays beginning September 30, 9:30am–12:30pm, Foster 107
Now entering its third year, 3CT’s dissertation group continues to provide an informal space for building intellectual community and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. These weekly sessions are open to PhD candidates and those very close to candidacy across the social sciences and humanities who engage with contemporary critical theory in their work or those whose work is motivated by the central mission of 3CT to theorize the present. Students from elsewhere in the university whose projects align with 3CT are encouraged to reach out to with a description of their interests.
In Fall 2026, the writing group convenes in Foster 107 from 9:30am to 12:30pm on Wednesdays. A catered breakfast with pastries, tea, and coffee is provided. Participants join sessions in accordance with their schedules, and there is no expectation to participate for the full three hours or to participate every single week. Every session, the graduate students in the room decide how they would like to use their time for the day and create the space that works best for all in the community.
Please contact student coordinator Elaine Colligan with any questions. Registration is not required, but we would appreciate potential participants expressing interest at the form linked above.
