Welcome to the official Twitter for the PhD Program in English at The Graduate Center, CUNY. Follow us to get updates about what's happening in our program.
This week is our final Friday Forum event of the semester: the Open Executive Committee Meeting, followed by Revels! Join us in the English Student Lounge (Rm 4406) on Dec. 13 for the Open EC from 4-4:30pm.
After that, Revels will begin - this year's theme is Winter Sunshine! We'll have delicious food and drinks—we hope to see everyone to gather together and celebrate as the semester comes to a close.
We were thrilled to see a packed lounge for last week's event to celebrate Prof. Miles Grier's book Inkface: Othello and White Authority in the Era of Atlantic Slavery!

We can't believe we're coming to the end of the semester already! This week, we're hosting two more Friday Forum events in the lounge before our last week with Revels - stay tuned for more information about that!
This Friday at 2pm, join us for another ESA-sponsored event, this time on Giving a Conference Paper. This roundtable, organized by Nic Nicoludis @nicodemvs, features English Program students Ju Ly Ban, Meha Gupta, and Koyuki Smith in conversation with Professor Amber Musser.
And at 4pm on Friday, join us for the long-anticipated launch to celebrate Professor Miles Grier's book Inkface: Othello and White Authority in the Era of Atlantic Slavery. This roundtable, featuring English program students, faculty, and guests, will be followed by a reception.
June Jordan dedicated her life to collective liberation across scales of conflict at home and across the world. At every step, she also invoked the potential for LIVING ROOM: a place and a way to make dignifying life with each other. Join us to reflect.
