This year's conference organizers extend our gratitude to the generous sponsors whose invaluable support has made Midwest Winter Workshop 2026 possible.
Our sponsors' commitment to academic excellence, research advancement, and the professionalization of graduate students is commendable, and we are honored MWW 2026 was selected as a recipient of their support, especially as sweeping financial cuts impact many programs and organizations in the arts and humanities nationwide.
Only through their generous contributions are we are able to bring together scholars from around the Midwest to engage in meaningful discussions and collaborations for this year's event.
A tremendous thank you to the organizations named here for helping to make this conference a reality.
