Program Description

The Department of Comparative Literature is a small department whose distinctiveness lies in fostering students' originality and independent intellectual inquiries. It's core identity consists in the theoretical studies of literature, politics and culture. The department stresses philosophical and theoretical graduate studies in the humanities, and is best known for its interdisciplinary work in post-Kantian philosophy, poststructuralism, and literatures of the 18th through 21st centuries. The cutting-edge, theoretical-philosophical approaches frame the various fields in our department's research and teaching.
