Fall/Spring Mixers

RAW: Graduate Student Conference
Each spring. we host a graduate student conference. RAW (“Research, Arts, and Writing”) provides graduate students the opportunity to share their work with their colleagues and professors in a formal conference setting.
Graduate students from any school or institution are encouraged to submit their work.
The RAW conference is a vibrant platform created by and for graduate student scholars and artists, fostering scholarly, creative, and transdisciplinary dialogues across the fields of arts, humanities, and emerging technologies. The annual Spring conference, organized by the Bass Association of Graduate Students, witnesses participation from graduate students across Texas and the US. The theme for the 16th annual RAW Conference 2025 is BAIT, PROMPTS, and AID: The Power and Poetics of Engagement in Art, Technology, History, and Human Nature/Nurture.
The Call for Papers for RAW 2025 is open until December 6, 2024 at 11:59 p.m.
