CAS IHAWG brings together graduate students across humanities disciplines for sustained, collective writing and scholarly exchange. Hosted by the Center for African Studies, the group meets weekly to combine disciplined co-writing sessions with peer-led workshops and a speaker series that showcases Africanist humanities research. We foster an encouraging, productive environment where members share work-in-progress, troubleshoot writing challenges, and celebrate milestones in their research. Who should consider joining:

Graduate students whose research engages Africa or the African diaspora in humanities fields, including DAAAS/DLCL and other area studies, art and art history, film and media, comparative literature, CCSRE, education, English, feminist and gender studies, musicology, philosophy, linguistics, religious studies, and theater/performance studies. Interdisciplinary and cross-departmental participation is strongly encouraged.

Attendance can be regular or occasional to accommodate academic schedules.
