Comparative Literature graduate student information

GRACLS receives funds for organizing brown bag lunches and academic activities for comparative literature graduate students. In order to sign up for the listserv, please send an email to the listserv manager.
- GSA : The Graduate Student Assembly consists of graduate students who participate in UT committees. These committees make decisions that affect UT academic and administrative policy and the quality of life of graduate students. Graduate student participation in the past has influenced many decisions to the benefit of graduate students. For the Spring 2004, the GSA has one comparative literature graduate student representative (Marilyn Lehman) and one alternate (Matthew Russell). Please email these students with your concerns and questions for the GSA.
- Calls for Papers : The Comparative Literature website maintains a list of calls for papers and conference listings
- DISSLIST: The Dissertation List-Serve and Resource web site recently has been updated. In addition to providing access to the DISSLIST (which now has almost 700 UT subscriptions), the web site also includes: connections to dozens of dissertation web resources around the country, a dissertation writing bibliography, on-line access to numerous articles about writing and the dissertation process, reflections by current and former graduate deans from across the country, tips from distinguished UT faculty (many of whom have directed award-winning dissertations), and advice from alumni who earned their doctoral degrees at UT. This is a work in progress; additions (especially faculty tips, reflections by deans and alumni advice) are being made almost daily. One final note: By May 2004, UT doctoral students will have the opportunity to interact at designated times (via instant messenger) with faculty from UT and other major doctoral institutions about dissertation writing.
