SUMMER SEMINAR IN TAOS

            Beginning in July 2008, the Department will offer annually a week-long seminar at SMU’s beautiful campus in Taos, NM, for students completing their first and second years in the Ph.D. program. Modeled loosely on NEH summer seminars, the SMU program will be one of the few in the country directed specifically and exclusively to graduate students.

The subject of the seminar will change on an annual basis, as will its instruction. Each summer we plan to invite an accomplished scholar from another university to lead our students through an immersion in a literary subject, field, or methodology of interest to all students.
