    “Hierarchies rank\u2014 organizing experience into asymmetrical, discriminatory, often deeply unjust arrangements. The most consistent and painful affordance of hierarchical structures is inequality. Hierarchies are in this respect the most troubling of all the forms we will consider in this book.” – Caroline Levine, Forms<\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n

    About the Doctoral Seminar:<\/strong><\/h5>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    This is an informal weekly reading group run for postgraduates within the Department of English Literature. We select a short text to read in advance, often a work of theory, then meet to discuss it. The seminar provides an opportunity to consider aspects of the reading that were thought-provoking or challenging for you, think about how it relates to texts you may have studied or plan to read, and share aspects of your own research and academic practice. It\u2019s also a chance to get together, try out ideas, and meet fellow postgraduate researchers. There will be tea, coffee and biscuits and you are very welcome! \u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
