ASPECT (the Alliance for Social, Political, Ethical, and Cultural Thought) promotes rigorous interdisciplinary dialogue across social sciences, humanities, and arts. We specialize in theoretical research that bridges disciplines. Beyond our unique PhD program, we function as a central meeting point for diverse interdisciplinary initiatives, projects, and gatherings. ASPECT integrates theoretical and empirical approaches through its academic offerings, research initiatives, teaching activities, and intellectual events, connecting methodologies, key concepts, pressing questions, and analytical frameworks from ethical philosophy, cultural analysis, political economy, social and political philosophy, history of ideas, global studies, and artistic disciplines including performance and visual arts.

Course requirements for the Ph.D. can ordinarily be completed during two years of residency and entail successful completion of 42 credit hours, leading to the defense of a Ph.D. dissertation proposal and preliminary exams during the fourth semester. Thereafter, dissertation research will be undertaken under the supervision of a multidisciplinary advisory committee and remaining credits may be earned either by taking additional classroom courses or research and dissertation credits.
