The Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies Program will host a graduate workshop to provide information about the different concentrations their M.A. and Ph.D. programs offer. The workshop will take place from 3:30-4:40 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 24, at the WLDH Studio Conference Room, J.B. Hunt Center room 207.

Our program provides advanced-level research training in comparative literature and cultural studies for students with previous education in various languages and cultures, national literatures or literary genres to earn either a master's or doctoral degree. Our program prepares students to perform critical analysis, cross-cultural communication and international understanding so they can become workers able to be adaptable and excel in multicultural and intercultural competence. This preparation allows students to communicate difficult ideas clearly and be at ease working and engaging with people in multiple cultural and linguistic contexts.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together faculty and graduate students within the U of A in an effort to create scholarly dialogue, to encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration and to foster exchange of ideas through the presentation of our programs. 

Come and get to know a vibrant and diverse intellectual community both within the CLCS Program and the university as a whole. Refreshments will be served. Please RSVP to Erika Almenara, CLCS director.
