In Hilary Term 2019 OCCT is running a workshop for European and Middle Eastern Languages undergraduates, in order to encourage and help students embarking on comparative literature work for the first time. Participants will be asked to give a 15 minute presentation of a paper connecting authors across different languages and cultures, with senior members of the OCCT Discussion Group acting as respondents. The aim of the workshop is to get undergraduates involved in the activity of the Discussion Group and give them the opportunity to receive feedback from more experienced researchers. The EMEL workshop will be held in Week 5.
