Comparatists in Conversation

Welcome to Comparatists in Conversation (CiC) — a collective of readers, students, scholars, and educators exploring the transformative power of texts across languages, regions, and media. On this channel, you’ll find lecture series, talks, and conversations that bring scholars from Comparative Literature, Translation Studies, Cultural Studies, and allied fields into dialogue with lived experiences and intellectual worlds.

At CiC, we highlight the work of early-career researchers while also engaging with global scholarly conversations. Our aim is simple: to make space for rigorous, ethically grounded discussions on reading, writing, and translating across boundaries.
Join us as we read, think, and converse together — across texts, traditions, and geographies.
