The Graduate Association for Comparative Literature Students (GRACLS) provides the organizing body and social forum for graduate students in UT’s program in Comparative Literature.
Every year since 2001, the GRACLS conference has brought together students from across the 40 Acres and across America to participate and present their original research in an interdisciplinary, multicultural, and high-profile event. Reaching beyond the academy, through our careful work on cultural exchange and human expression, this year’s conference will focus on the role of popular culture in the humanities and the impact of the humanities on the world beyond the academy. Your gift for the GRACLS conference will allow us to continue to build a bridge between cultural critics and practitioners of culture. It will go towards supporting young scholars in their original research, organizing workshops with well-known authors who appeal to youth readers, and allowing us to offer a warm welcome to internationally recognized film directors and scholars who will keynote our event.
Please join us in supporting the GRACLS conference! Your support will ensure that GRACLS remains a hub for humanities as a public practice and presence while promoting the University of Texas as a national leader in the humanities, as a place where people care about human expression and all its readers and viewers.
