Annual PG Conference on 'Re-Reading'.
The Research Centre for Comparative Literature and Translation annual Postgraduate Conference on the theme of Re-Reading will take place over two days on Thursday 22 and Friday 23 May 2025. The conference is free, and will be fully hybrid, with a couple of online sessions, so you are welcome to drop in at any point, and to join us at the reception on Thursday evening. There will be papers by PG students at Glasgow and from around the world on a wide range of topics and approaches, and it promises to be an absorbing event.
