The Early Modern Reading Group brings together graduate students and faculty for lively, enriching conversations about texts with cross-disciplinary value. Participants benefit from encountering field-specific approaches and methodologies different from those they know, and from having to articulate their own field’s methodologies to others. In addition to discussing the content and arguments of each given monograph, we attempt to break down how individual texts are constructed so as to keep a running dialogue about conceptualizing, composing, and eventually publishing relevant and persuasive research in the field.

The Equity and Social Justice Reading Group is intended for English majors interested in situating literature at the center of discussions about equity and social justice.

Come on down for our ever-popular reading series showcasing an open mic and feature readers! Bring a poem, short prose piece, or music to share at the open mic; enjoy coffee, tea, and snacks with other members of the UConn Creative Writing community. Everyone is welcome! This is an in-person event!

“Transcribathon” describes the full range of the Early Modern Studies Working Group’s efforts to teach and develop the skills of paleography. UConn’s Transcribathon convenes bi-weekly and aims to make the experience fun and rewarding by providing participants an opportunity both to collaborate on a community project, and to receive useful research training for projects that require paleography.
