CCASD Keywords

CCASD Keywords: Interdisciplinary Roundtable Conversations is a NEW series inspired by the innovative interdisciplinary scholarship promoted by the Center.  The series draws participants together from a wide range of disciplinary homes in order to explore the various ways we think about fundamental critical/theoretical ideas and to generate new vocabularies and new methodologies.  2010-11 programs included Keyword conversations on Ethnicity, Intersectionality, Labor and the Politics of "Post".  2011-12 programs will include: Movements, Globalization, Tradition and Embodiment. more
