About
CSSD supports working groups, hosts events, and produces public scholarship on social difference.
On the occasion of myriad anniversaries that offer occasions for taking stock, including that of U.S. independence, CSSD has launched a new thematic focus on Renaissance for 2026-2027.
CSSD continues in 2025-2026 with its thematic focus on Crisis in recognition of the manifold crises we inhabit today. Out of this, we initiated an ongoing event series, Countering the Carceral State, to host discussions around the crises of disciplinary enforcement at home and abroad.
