Theory Sessions

The Theory Sessions are back! A student-run initiative hosted by the Centre for the Study of Theory and Criticism, the Theory Sessions serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas to promote interdisciplinary research in theory at the Centre and across campus. Students and faculty present their papers and engage in spirited discussions, with contributions from interested Centre scholars as well as faculty and students from other fields and disciplines at Western. 

If you are interested in presenting, or you know someone who you think would make a welcome guest, please send an email with an 300-word abstract and a brief (50-100 word) bio to Christina Elle Burke, acoughl9@uwo.ca.
