Comparative Literature Faculty members
pursue work in such fields as Word and Image, European-American
Studies,
Narrative and Folklore, Translation, Film, Empire and Postcolonial
Studies, and Spirituality and Health, among others. Our collaborative
relationships with Associate
Faculty and
Five College Faculty contribute
to rounding-out the depth and breadth of scholarship opportunities
open to our graduate and undergraduate students.
On
the graduate and undergraduate levels alike Comparative Literature
attracts a singularly international, culturally varied
student body whose perspectives have been crucial to
fostering significant new directions in the comparative literary
field.
At the heart of Comparative Literature are
our administrative professionals who keep the offices running smoothly despite the
overwhelming volume of activity.
Outside of academia, faculty, students and staff pursue
an array of other interests—some
are musicians performing locally, we have a world-class Argentine
tango
dancer and
instructor, one student practices kung fu. Some are poets
and fiction writers, some travelers and mountaineers, activists,
sports fans or operagoers. Most are some combination of the
above and some are parents besides.
See a list of current
graduate students and this year's incoming
graduate students, and learn about the Organization
of Graduate Students in Comparative Literature (OGSCL). Also,
see the Alumni/ae page for information
about recent Ph.D. graduates as well as what Comparative
Literature majors are doing out in the world after
graduation.
