PhD Book Club

The PhD Book Club is an interdisciplinary group of PhD students with the shared goal to critically examine the role of technology and media in upholding existing systems of oppression. Every quarter, we select a book and discuss its chapters in combination with critical work by scholars who have been minoritized in conversations in both academic thinking and mainstream media. We aim to expand the work we read, bring critical perspectives into our research work, and create a space for cross-lab and cross-discipline workshopping of related work.

If you are interested in joining the email list for the club, you can contact YY Teng (yyteng@u.northwestern.edu) or Sam Agnoli (samagnoli@u.northwestern.edu) with a short self-introduction.

Please note that the group is typically made up of PhD students. However, if you are an undergraduate student, non-PhD graduate student, or independent learner who will commit to the entire reading schedule, please reach out to one of the current organizers.
