Ends of Theory seminars:
This series is a forum for discussion of the role and aims of theory in the humanities and social sciences today. For the purpose of the seminars, theory will be defined broadly as any sustained reflection on the basic methodological and substantive assumptions of a discipline or disciplines. The format may include formal papers, readings distributed in advance, or informal debate, as announced. Each seminar will be led by a UCLA faculty member whose current work addresses significant issues of a theoretical nature. The seminars are generally small, and lively interaction between seminar leaders and audience can be expected.

(TTS) = Programs sponsored by the
UC Transnational and Transcolonial Studies Multicampus Research Group.
