Fellows Fridays

---

Fellows Fridays is a group where faculty fellows and postdoctoral associates in the humanities and arts share works-in-progress for interdisciplinary feedback. Each session, one presenter shares a paper, chapter, or project in development, followed by discussion open to questions, close reading, and cross-disciplinary perspective. It's a space where feedback has real downstream effects—several presenters have carried it forward into published work.
