3CT (Chicago Center for Contemporary Theory) Graduate Student Fund

The Chicago Center for Contemporary Theory—known as 3CT—is a space for the critical discussion and reimagination of social, political, and cultural processes in the world today.

Current University of Chicago graduate students are invited to apply for grants of up to $1,000 to support work that reflects 3CT’s commitment to theorizing the present. Funds may be used for activities such as:

• Collaborative, interdisciplinary initiatives involving other students such as reading groups, study groups, teach-ins, or similar*
• Conference travel and fees
• Research-related costs, such as travel; transcription, translation, or duplication fees; purchase of books or software

Priority will be given to projects that add to the intellectual life of 3CT, that might have difficulty accessing funding elsewhere, and/or for which 3CT’s grant would make a significant contribution to the budget. Priority will be given to students who are engaged with the center’s activity (e.g. attending events or taking classes) and those who have not previously received a 3CT Graduate Fund award.
