Work in Progress


In Fall 2026, the Theory Center devotes itself to nurturing the research of its faculty. To help colleagues develop their projects, we invite leading scholars to Bloomington for an intensive, and public, discussion of work in progress. The idea is to sharpen research questions, hone methodological tools, and clarify the range and relevance of a scholar’s archive through critical feedback at a key stage of a project’s gestation. In addition, our guest scholars share their own research with us in public lectures.
The Theory Center reading group will return next Spring. Stay tuned.
