Seminar in Experimental Critical Theory (SECT)

Oregon State University Visiting Research Fellowships
Center for the Humanities, OSU

  • Each year, the Center brings together a new group of Fellows from Oregon State University (OSU Research Fellowships) and other universities (Visiting Research Fellowships) to pursue research and writing in an environment designed to be stimulating as well as protected from the daily demands of academic life.

Thus the primary emphasis is on research and writing.
