 | | The Organization of Graduate Students in Comparative Literature (OGSCL) is welcoming papers for an interdisciplinary conference held at the University of Massachusetts Amherst on October 11th and 12th. |
 | | The 2008 Crossroads Conference envisions a student dialogue on the extraordinary outcomes of cultural encounters, national and ideological borders, disciplines in interaction, the overlapping of distinct historical periods, the interweaving of literary genres, the symbiosis between academics and social change, and the foreplays between rhetorics of war, freedom, memory, and silence. |
