ACLS Board Member Roderick Ferguson to deliver Princeton’s Gauss Seminars in Criticism

Roderick Ferguson, Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Yale University and member of the ACLS Board of Directors, will deliver Princeton University’s Gauss Seminars in Criticism for the 2025–26 academic year.

The Gauss Seminars are among Princeton’s longest running and best-known public lecture series. The seminars are led by invited guests who present work in progress and provide space for Princeton’s campus community to have a focused discussion about ideas in the humanities.

Since 1949, the Gauss Seminars in Criticism have featured a range of eminent thinkers including past ACLS awardees such as Judith Butler, Noam Chomsky, and Joan Scott.
