Knowledge and understandings of shared values are created based on our respect for difference and diversity and our engagement with the communities we live in. A focus on connections between the individual, the local and the global can provoke new ways of thinking.
From May 28 to 30, 2016, as part of the Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences of Canada hosted by the University of Calgary, the Canadian Comparative Literature Association (CCLA) invites scholars to explore the theme of engaging communities. What is the role of Comparative Literature in an increasingly multi-mediated and multicultural world? How can Comparative Literature engage with wider communities, both nationally and globally? In what ways can Comparative Literature portray or imagine possibilities that are grounded in both the local and the global? What kinds of theoretical approaches can we adopt to interpret literature that can critically engage readers in a constantly changing world?
Comparative papers on other topics are also welcome and will be collected into general sessions. Proposals for pre-arranged panels, roundtables, and innovative formats are strongly encouraged. Joint sessions with other organizations are also very welcome but should be arranged as soon as possible.
Please submit 250-300 word abstracts for 20-minute presentations, as Word attachments, to Program Chair Dr. Jessica Tsui-Yan Li （李翠恩博士）(cclacongress2016@gmail.com) by December 15, 2015.
