Description: Participants describe how comparative and world literature programs and departments create curricula, pedagogies, and methodologies that envision and promote a more inclusive world. These include literature’s relation to law and the work it can do in postconflict societies. Speakers also address existing pedagogical challenges, including the capturing of effluent communities and the quest for uncoercive meaning making.
