Active since: 2018
- University of Rochester
- Hobart & William Smith Colleges
Collaborative Goals
This collaborative event is intended as an opportunity for graduate students to consider issues pertaining to gender, sexuality, race, class, and disability. Participants will engage with one another in interdisciplinary discussions led by established scholars in the humanities, arts, and social sciences, whose experience and outstanding research in their respective fields will benefit and help shape the papers. We welcome emerging scholars to join us in this one-day program of events that includes a full day of interdisciplinary workshops and a panel discussion.
