Lauren Berlant 3CT Graduate Student Conference
Our annual graduate student conference was established in 2021 and is now named in honor of longtime 3CT fellow Lauren Berlant (1957–2021).
Conference organizers are selected from an open call for proposals from individual students or groups on any themes that reflect 3CT’s commitments to theorizing the present and to interdisciplinarity. This call is launched at the beginning of the Summer quarter, with the conference taking place the following Spring quarter.
View the current call for proposals.
