Department of English PhD Speaker's Series Workshop: Kim Quiogue Andrews

PhD Speaker Series Workshop 2025 (Wed., Feb. 26th, DT 1812, 10:00-11:30 am)

Faculty and graduate students in FASS are warmly invited to join Dr. Andrews for a workshop “On ‘Interventions’: Positioning Your Research.” Please register in advance.

In this seminar discussion, Dr. Andrews will lead us through the structure and argumentation of the introduction and first chapter of her recent monograph, The Academic Avant-Garde: Poetry and the American University, a recent finalist for the Modernist Studies Association Book Prize. Through discussion of how Andrews's work takes stock of its field and positions itself accordingly, students will come away with a sense of how to think about their own dissertations as book projects.
