For Current Faculty

The Unit works with faculty across disciplines who engage with critical theory. In addition to joining a community of theorists across disciplines, faculty affiliates are eligible for Critical Book Labs, engaging with scholars across and beyond campus and receiving researching funding for book-length manuscripts, and have the option to affiliate their theory-based seminars with the Unit, opening them up to graduate students working toward Unit Certification. We also feature new publications by affiliated faculty in our Faculty Book Showcase.

To affiliate with the unit, faculty should email the Director D. Fairchild Ruggles, at dfr1@illinois.edu with (1) a CV and (2) a cover letter explaining how your work is relevant to the Unit's mission and stating which seminars you hope to submit as Unit-affiliated.
