Dear SEELANGers,
We are inviting graduate students researching Socialist Realism and
20th-century state-sponsored cultural production to participate in a new
graduate student virtual working group.
While Socialist Realism has long been an overlooked topic, recent scholarship
has moved toward more nuanced, interdisciplinary, and comparative approaches.
In the spirit of this evolving field, this working group is open to students
of all specializations, including, but not limited to literature, visual art,
film, material culture, history, and gender studies.
The aim of the group is to create a cross-institutional network and community
that provides support for graduate students that study Socialist Realism
through initiatives such as:
-
Reading groups (primary texts and new theoretical scholarship)
-
Dissertation workshops and work-in-progress presentations
-
Film screenings and visual culture discussions
-
Semi-regular virtual meetings to discuss pedagogy and archival research
If interested in joining the group, please add your information here: SR working group form
We plan to hold an initial organizational meeting online to discuss the goals
of the group and brainstorm ideas for the upcoming academic year.
Sincerely,
Stella Sarefield
