WELCOME! The Work in Nineteenth-Century Studies (WINCS) Colloquium at the University of Toronto provides a forum for interdisciplinary investigations into all aspects of nineteenth-century literature and culture. Housed within the Department of English, WINCS is open to faculty and graduate students at Universities in the GTA and beyond. WINCS regularly invites scholars to present their ongoing research.

Speakers either present a lecture or share a work-in-progress.
Works-in-progress are circulated in advance to listserv subscribers. If you are not a member of the listserv and would like to receive information about WINCS events, please see this website's "Join / Contact" page.
