[Call for Applications] Joint Training Program on “Asia in World Literature”

In partnership with the Harvard-Yenching Institute, we are pleased to announce a call for applications for a June 2023 Joint Training Program on “Asia in World Literature” at the Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand.

Co-organized by the Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University, and the Harvard-Yenching Institute, the training program will consist of lectures and seminars aimed to highlight the issues of recognition and visibility of Asian literatures in the framework of world literature. It will raise the awareness among the participants of the need not just to read and understand Asian texts, but to frame them within global literary communities. With scholars on world literature from leading universities and institutes in the US and Asia, this training program is aimed not only to create in a new group of young scholars a firm background in comparative and world literature but also a sensitivity to the politics of literary recognition.
