Groups


The Corridor is driven by Working Groups formed by scholars across our consortium who collaborate on a particular theme, concern, or issue in the humanities. Groups apply for funding to support their academic year activities (colloquia, performances, screenings, writing groups, mini-conferences, teaching exchanges, workshops, etc.). Groups are situated in a Research Cluster, which helps map our diverse network.

Working Group Activities take many forms... from deep dives into a discipline to broad interdisciplinary queries; from convening (online or in person) to form writing groups, develop manuscripts, or explore humanities methods to hosting larger-scale public symposia to advance community engagement or take up key social issues.

Get involved! Explore existing projects and discover new colleagues with shared interests.
