Venue description

The Department of Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies (CLCS) at Stony Brook University engage in exciting, interdisciplinary approaches to traditional fields of study. The goal is to investigate new cultural, pop-cultural, and cross-cultural phenomena from multiple points of view. The Department offers two graduate programs: one in Comparative Literature (M.A. and Ph.D. degrees) and one in Cultural Studies (Ph.D. degree). The programs are distinct, with different requirements, but students in one program may include the other as one of their fields of study. Graduate students have the opportunity to assist and teach in all of three undergraduate programs. Ph.D.s in recent years have landed tenure-track jobs at such institutions as Baruch College, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Skidmore College, California State University, DePaul University.
