Working Groups

Our working groups bring together faculty, graduate students, and other researchers from across the humanities at Yale to pursue shared intellectual interests throughout the academic year. Topics range widely, from the American playwright Adrienne Kennedy to Caribbean Studies to Medieval song to Russian poetics.

Some groups share works-in-progress or discuss a common set of readings; others host outside speakers or invite Yale faculty to present new work. Beyond the seminar table, working groups have hosted community crafting circles, co-organized conferences with peer institutions, and held hands-on workshops like a natural-dye day at the Yale Farm.
