Advanced Literary Scholarship Group

Advanced Literary Scholarship (AdLit) is a professionalization group with two main objectives: monthly large-group meetings in which professors come in to talk about a topic of professionalism (publishing, prelims, the job market, etc.), and smaller specialized groups focused on developing essays for publication and/or collectively studying the scholarship of a certain area of interest. While AdLit is directed primarily towards PhD students in Literature, MA's and other tracks (Creative Writing, Rhetoric and Composition) may also enroll and find it useful in order to work on their literary scholarship.
