Our Programming & Events
The BCaT Lab offers a variety of recurring programs designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, professional development, scholarly engagement, and community-building. While our programming evolves each semester, several signature initiatives remain central to the BCaT community.
-
Our year-long, inter-institutional research collaborations bring together scholars, students, and researchers to explore shared questions, develop innovative approaches, and advance collaborative research projects.
-
A weekly lunchtime series dedicated to intellectual exchange, skill-building, and scholarly discussion. Programming includes guided conversations, research colloquia, book clubs, technology workshops, and guest speaker presentations.
-
A weekly space for focused writing, accountability, and peer support. Through dedicated writing sessions and body-doubling opportunities, BCaT Writes supports participants in advancing their writing projects. Drop-in writing assistance is also available for undergraduate students.
-
A monthly professional development series supporting scholars at various stages of their academic and professional journeys. Sessions cover CV development, academic job market materials, alternative academic career pathways, conference preparation, and other career-oriented topics.
-
Our monthly community gathering emphasizes connection, rest, and shared experiences beyond academic work. Join us for dinners, movie nights, games, and opportunities to build relationships within the BCaT community.
-
Throughout the academic year, BCaT also hosts special events, including research colloquia, panel discussions, author visits, and BCaT Book Club conversations.
