The Fellows Seminar

The Fellows Seminar has been the core of the intellectual community at the Center since 1984. The Seminar meets biweekly to discuss work in progress by each member of the cohort. A gathering for multidisciplinary research, debate, and dialogue among Henderson Senior Research Fellows (HSRFs), Junior Faculty Fellows (JFFs), and Graduate Dissertation Fellows (GDFs), the Seminar assists scholars in the development of their work and engages the larger questions of culture and imagination that humanities disciplines have always examined.
