Working groups are research clusters organized by graduate students and supported by members of faculty as a means to encourage dialogue around particular fields of study. Of varying size, the groups provide a friendly environment for conversation and communal reading. Departmental funding also allows students to invite the occasional visiting speakers and to organize a small conference.
Additionally, the department provides a limited amount of funds available for reading or writing groups to support purchase of books, food and/or beverages.
Below you'll find the list of current working groups.
