Comp Lit Alumni Panel: Looking Backward, Looking Forward

Join alumni Sara Grewal, Ramon Stern, and Bram Acosta as they address diversity, equity, and inclusion within the context of Comparative Literature. By drawing on their own experiences at the University of Michigan and their home institutions, alumni will discuss the obstacles that women and underrepresented students experience to timely completion and develop strategies to support them. To this end, they will address the following questions: What obstacles to your health, wellbeing, and education did you encounter? How did you find allies? How can you be allies to others? How do you foster a collegial environment? What forms of collaboration did you value when you were in grad school? How did your perspectives shift throughout and after your graduate school experience?

This panel is aimed at Comparative Literature graduate students. Refreshments provided.
