Funding
The Mahindra Humanities Center will offer up to $1000 of support to a Harvard graduate student who applies and is accepted to the School of Criticism and Theory.
Description & Application
In an intensive six-week course of study, faculty members, graduate students and independent scholars from around the world, in the humanities and social sciences, explore recent developments in critical theory.
Participants work with the SCT’s core faculty of distinguished scholars and theorists in one of four six-week seminars. Each faculty member offers, in addition, a public lecture and a colloquium (based on an original paper) which are attended by the entire group.
The program also includes practical Writing Workshops taught by writers and poets who visit for shorter periods. Finally, the program begins with a panel discussion between the SCT Director and two leading figures in the Humanities and ends with an exciting two-day conference. In addition, Cornell offers participants the resources of one of the great research libraries in the United States.
The 2024 summer session at the School of Criticism and Theory will be held in-person in Ithaca, June 9 - July 18, 2024.
