Faculty and graduate students
in Comparative Literature are known for their active involvement
in organizing campus events,
conferences, and lecture series, as well as for founding or playing
a major role in a variety of prominent organizations and
projects.
Professor
Gentzler established and continues to administer the Translation
Center; Professor Portuges is the founder and curator
of the Massachusetts
Multicultural Film Festival; for years,
Professor Lenson has been the editor of the Massachusetts
Review, and the host of the MR2 Radio
Program; in close
collaboration with his Belgian colleagues, Professor Moebius
coordinates
the Word/Image exchange
program, that has resulted in already
four international conferences. Professor Moebius also
launched the Poets and
Poetry of New England project—initially
an
innovative poetry course, the project has now become part
of a new DVD series.
OGSCL, the Organization
of Graduate Students in Comparative Literature, often organizes lecture series,
conferences,
and other events that attract a wide audience.
