I came to Comp Lit due to both my interest in literatures across languages and cultures and the department’s interdisciplinarity and flexibility. This flexibility has encouraged me to explore coursework not only in CompLit but across the humanities, giving me the opportunity to learn broadly and bring theoretical/methodological skills from other departments back to my work in Comp Lit. The task of working in multiple languages is also conducive to my investments in border studies and translation, making the department a sort of hub for many of my interests.
