French Theory Reading Group (FTRG)

From the Brown directory, Aug 22, 2026

The French Theory Reading Group (FTRG) is a graduate student group that focuses on reading theoretical texts of French or Francophone origin (or texts which are inspired by such theoretical traditions). Each year our meetings are organized around a theme or question. This year's theme is 'reading.' The goal of the group is two-fold. 1. To better understand theoretical approaches that have influenced a variety of humanities disciplines. 2. To reflect on how these approaches influence and/or inform our own research. The group is open to all graduate students with all levels of comfort and/or experience reading theoretical texts. Our focus is on tackling our readings collaboratively in the spirit of mutual support. To get updates about FTRG meetings, please subscribe to our listerv.
