I chose CompLit because of the flexibility of the concentration and the depth it can add to my curriculum. I am pursuing a joint concentration in Classics and Comparative Literature. While Classics is a highly rigid field well-defined by temporal, geographic, and linguistic scope, CompLit has since allowed me to step beyond these limitations. It gives me a theoretical grounding to discuss my observation and to bring other cultures and literary works into the field of Classics. I deeply enjoy the freedom to draw connections across cultures, languages, and disciplines that CompLit has offered me. To add a cherry on top, CompLit’s tutorial system has greatly encouraged me along the way to explore these connections. I am able to craft my own research project through my junior paper, design syllabi that best fits my academic interest, and draw from various departments and disciplines to craft my own course of study and research (and have all those non-CompLit courses also count for my concentration!).
