Students

Students enrolled in the CLCS program come from around the world, and from across a variety of different academic backgrounds. They work on projects that range from Border Studies, Literary Translation, Trauma Studies, Literary Criticism, Gender & Queer Studies, World Literature, Critical Race Theory, Post-Colonial Studies to Performance Studies, Digital Humanities, Film Studies, Graphic Novels, Media & Genre Studies, Videogames and anything else in-between. Students are able to choose and mix together from amongst a number of these classical, early modern, or contemporary topics to build together an academic advising team from faculty all over campus to work on their projects.

Yearly, CLCS offers research awards and funding for students to attend conferences. We also organize workshops and reading groups on topics and authors relevant to the study of literature, culture, translation and digital humanities.

To get a good grasp at the inter-disciplinary work of our program, take a look at our Student’s Profiles to see what previous and current students have chosen for their course work, mentors, and thesis topics utilizing faculty and resources from around campus. 

Student Ambassadors

CLCS maintains two Program Ambassador positions to advanced students selected to offer peer mentoring to students entering the program. Ambassadors typically run workshops on the job market, comprehensive exams, and dissertation writing. Feel free to reach out to them if you want to link up with the CLCS peer network on campus.
