Subject: Re: Institutionalization of L&S studies
Hi there,
I don't know if this is the kind of thing you are looking for, but here
at Carnegie Mellon's Literary & Cultural Theory program we have a
culture & science group.  It's not really institutional in that we
just
get together ourselves but we are becoming a strong presence in the
department.  If you'd like to know more let me know.
