The Literary, Interdisciplinary, Theory, and Culture Organization (LITCO) serves as a collaborative space for emerging scholars in the Literature, Theory, Cultural Studies (LTC) program to share their research; discuss recent innovations in literary criticism, theory, and cultural studies; and experience developments in the field through research forums, social gatherings, and the annual symposium. All LTC graduate students are considered members of LITCO, and all other interested graduate students are invited to join.
