Clayton Campus.

The Centre for Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies organises an
annual Postgraduate Colloquium, where postgraduate students from the
Centre and the wider Faculty are able to share ideas and expertise. It
is an opportunity for PhD and MA students doing substantial research
projects to present parts of or summaries of their work to a friendly
but interested audience on their home soil. Many postgraduate students
and staff from the Centre, from the School of English, Communications
and Performance Studies and from the School of Languages, Cultures and
Linguistics, have attended previous Colloquia and enjoyed both the
intellectual fare and the amenities provided.

CALL FOR PAPERS

All Centre postgraduates are invited to present a paper or make some
other form of presentation on any aspect of their research (25-30
minutes plus discussion).

Postgraduate students working elsewhere in the Faculty in literary
studies, cultural studies or critical theory are also welcome.

Presentations incorporating audiovisual components are welcome.

Panel proposals are also invited, whether research-oriented or on
broader issues relating to university matters or current affairs.

The Colloquium is open to postgraduate students; to supervisors and
staff in the Faculty; and to prospective or recently completed
postgraduate students.

The Colloquium is an informal and relaxed event, which will provide an
opportunity to mix with other postgraduates and share research
interests. Lunch and refreshments will of course be provided.
