Dear colleagues, We invite you to join us on 21 April at the University of Leeds for the seminar World Against Globe: Reconceptualising World Literatures Today. Whilst aimed at postgraduates and early career researchers, all are welcome to discuss the concept of "world literature" in both a critical and convivial setting. The session will centre on Pheng Cheah's recent intervention, What is a World? (2016). It will be followed by Theo D'haen's opening lecture at the University of Leeds' new Centre for World Literatures and an evening reception. Attendance is free and refreshments will be served. Limited bursaries are available for participants travelling from York and Sheffield. For more details on these, and other information including required readings, please contact either myself ([log in to unmask]) or Jade Douglas ([log in to unmask]). This event is made possible due to funding from the the White Rose College of the Arts and Humanities.
