Welcome!
The English Department’s Long 20th Century Colloquium serves students at every stage of graduate work on post-1900 literature and culture. The Colloquium—formerly divided into the 19th Century/Modernism Colloquium and the Twentieth Century and Contemporary Colloquium—serves primarily as a venue for academic and professional development for graduate students. We meet as a seminar for a mixture of student workshops, presentations by guest speakers, and professionalization events.
To be added our mailing list, to ask a question, or to make a suggestion, please contact Colloquium co-coordinators Elizabeth Ambrose or Sunbinn Lee. No matter your area of specialization, your department, or your university, we'd love to have you join us!
If you would like to attend an event and are not on our mailing list, please email Elizabeth (elizabethambrose@fas.harvard.edu) or Sunbinn (sunbinnlee@g.harvard.edu) to let them know.
Our faculty sponsors are Beth Blum and Vidyan Ravinthiran.
