It is an opportunity for students to stake out independent intellectual positions and engage in critical discussion--both in formal question-and-answer sessions following each panel, as well as in further outside discussion with peers and faculty. Students are allowed a glimpse into the current research of their peers and a chance to network with a community of future local and global French literature scholars. </p> <p>The conference is open to all graduate students pursuing high-level research in French and Francophone literature and so its theme--"Ethics and Literature"--is necessarily an inclusive one. We invite you to read our <a href="./cfp.html">call for papers</a> and peruse the rest of our website. We look forward to reading your abstract submissions. </p> <p>--The Organizing Committee: Nathalie Batraville, Annie de Saussure, Colin Foss, Kristin Graves, Liz Hebbard, Benjamin Hoffmann, Dustin Hooten, Annabel Kim, Ryan Max Riley, Neil Younger </p> </div> <div class="footer"> <p> <a href="http://french.yale.edu/">Yale University Department of French </a> <br> 82-90 Wall Street, New Haven, CT 06511<br> </p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
