CompLit Alumni meeting.
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Michigan’s very first Translation Major—a huge step for our department and the University! Plus, this year marks the 40th anniversary of the Comparative Literature Major. To celebrate, we are putting together an anniversary publication that captures the vibrant journey of our department, and we’d love to include your voice in this special project.
As part of the festivities, we’d be delighted if you joined us for a group Zoom gathering with Department Chair Christi Merrill and fellow Comp Lit alumni from the last 40 years. This is a perfect chance to reconnect, share your stories and experiences, and help us commemorate how Comparative Literature has grown.
Your insights matter, whether you’d like to reminisce about your time here, reflect on how Comp Lit shaped your path, or share thoughts on the importance of translation and literature today.
