Crossroads III — October 5-7

The Organization of Graduate Students in Comparative Literature (OGSCL) is welcoming papers for an interdisciplinary conference to be held at the University of Massachusetts Amherst this fall. In the spirit of our inaugural conference in 2008, this year’s Crossroads Conference continues the exploration of the possibilities of this inter-discipline that spans Literary Studies, Art History, Film Studies, Ethnic Studies, Pedagogies, and Activism.

“Thank you for the great conference you put together. It was not only intellectually fruitful but it was just a hell of a lot of fun. The organization was professional and you really thought through the logistics of each day. I am grateful for the opportunity to have met everyone at both UMass and other schools. It gave me good ideas for what to do not just for the paper but for the next several years of my life as well. I hope that you keep up the Crossroads tradition.”
