Literary Studies is a bi-campus, interdepartmental, interdisciplinary program that promotes the study of literary and cultural traditions in global contexts. Home of the Comparative Literature major, the Program draws faculty and students from different fields and with diverse backgrounds, who together explore theoretical, global, and interdisciplinary perspectives on literature and culture. In addition to sponsoring lectures and film series, every year the Program hosts a May Colloquium—a roundtable discussion with invited speakers from inside and outside Fordham—and publishes the journal Bricolage. The Program annually awards the Katie Fraser Prize for Excellence in Comparative Literature for majors, and the Literary Studies Prize for Work in Comparative Literature for minors.
