Since 2011, Comparative Studies in Literature and Culture Doctoral Program has remapped the boundaries between Comparative Literature, French and Francophone Studies, and Spanish and Latin American Studies, simultaneously carrying on the very best of their traditions while pushing forward the study of the discipline.
Mission
The Comparative Studies in Literature and Culture Doctoral Program provides rigorous training in media studies, literary analysis, and critical theory and fosters independent thinking at the crossroads of these disciplines and methodologies.
Vision
The Comparative Studies in Literature and Culture Doctoral Program is at the front edge of interdisciplinary research, cultivating the common ground tying Comparative Literature, Comparative Media and Culture, French and Francophone Studies, and Spanish and Latin American Studies while carrying out path-breaking research in each of these disciplines. By design, CSLC challenges the boundaries of these fields while carrying on the very best of their traditions and enlarging what each can bring to the study of the discipline.
Values
Our research community is committed to shaping the future of doctoral education in the humanities by fostering an inclusive network of scholars and teachers across language, media, and regional foci.
