Pro-Sem:GradIntro/Communicatn

This proseminar is designed for new graduate students (although all are welcome) has three broad foci: (1) teaching/instructional development; (2) professional development for graduate students; and (3) topics of scholarly expertise in the Department. A variety of speakers, workshops and panels will cover topics ranging from instructional techniques and pedagogical concerns, to building expertise and networks toward a professional career, to discussion of various approaches among faculty in the department to common topics (e.g., culture, media, power, identity/ies, publics/citizenships).

ST- Performing Survival

This seminar centers survival as a phenomenon that is structural and embodied, strategic and always in process. Survival will be a point of entry rather than a point of departure. We will encounter survival not as something to be solved or resolved, but rather as a way to understand the conditions that produce survival and how it is lived. Survival will be approached as a site of knowledge creation, of and as creativity, of and as communication, and of and as relation.
