UC Berkeley Comparative Literature Undergraduate Research Symposium

UC Berkeley Comparative Literature Undergraduate Research Symposium An annual undergraduate research conference in the fields of languages and literature @ UC Berkeley A finalized program schedule will be announced shortly.

Since its inauguration 5 years ago, the UC Berkeley Comparative Literature Undergraduate Research Symposium has worked to create a platform for undergraduates to present their research in literature and languages. The conference is free and open to the public, with the intent of offering a space for community members as well as students and faculty in the UC Berkeley department, as well as into pa

rticipate in a discussion about the different facets and fields within Comparative Literature. Please join us for this year's symposium on Saturday, April 1, 2017 at the UC Berkeley Campus in the Comparative Literature Library. Registration will begin at 8:30 AM and the conference is expected to run until about 5 PM. This year's theme is un/bounded and we are excited to have presenters from all across the country that will share their research on their interpretations of the word -- how can boundaries be subverted or transgressed, what does it mean to be bound? Is being "bound" inherently negative, or can it also mean union with someone or something in a positive way? There are many ways to explore and delve into this word and idea. We hope to see you there! Questions? Please email [email protected]

For our 10th event, we wanted to conceptualize a theme that honored the work of previous symposia, while encouraging fresh takes on literature, culture, and society. Find out more on our website: https://calcomlitsymposium.wordpress.com/about/on-this-years-event/
