About

The APGRD Research Seminar, co-organised with The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) and the British Comparative Literature Association (BCLA), and with the support of the Oxford Comparative Criticism and Translation research centre (OCCT), will take place online on Mondays at 5pm (UK time) in Michaelmas Term, from 11 Oct. to 29 Nov. 2021.

Convened by Fiona Macintosh, Justine McConnell, and David Ricks. This seminar series brings together international scholars from Classics and Comparative Literature each week to engender cross-disciplinary reflection on some of the most pressing intellectual concerns within the Humanities. Classics and Comparative Literature as disciplines have undergone radical changes in the academy in recent years, but not always as a result of sustained dialogue between the two constituencies. This series seeks to promote such a dialogue. The seminars will take place on Zoom; to register please email

Posters by Thom Cuschieri.
