New Faculty Lecture Series: Interdisciplinary Dialogues
The Organization of Graduate Students in Comparative Literature (OGSCL) invites you to the second lecture in our fall new faculty lecture series. The lecture by Prof. Amanda C. Seaman, Asian Languages and Literatures, is titled "Literature of the Low Fertility Era in Japan."
Prof. Seaman received her Ph.D. in Japanese Literature from the University of Chicago in 2001. Her areas of research are contemporary Japanese literature and culture, Japanese women writers, and gender and popular culture. She is the author of "Bodies of Evidence: Women, Society, and Detective Fiction in 1990s Japan" (Honolulu : University of Hawai'i Press, 2004).
The aims of this lecture series are to foster dialogue across disciplinary boundaries and to enrich graduate interdisciplinary work through exposure to scholarship within and outside one's field. There are several new faculty members at the university, and we look forward to learning from their current research and recent experience as graduate students. Speakers will include practical advice for graduate students on dissertation projects and the job market. An informal reception will follow the lecture.
Sponsored by Comparative Literature, the Interdisciplinary Seminar in the Humanities and Fine Arts, the Department of Afro-American Studies, the Department of English, the Department of History, and Asian Languages and Literatures.
