The Rutgers Program in Comparative Literature has been collaborating with the Autonomous National University of Mexico (UNAM). This five-year partnership, which began in 2018-19 with funding provided by the Mellon Foundation’s Critical Theory in the Global South initiative, supported reciprocal graduate workshops in Mexico City and New Brunswick, as well as the creation of a new interdisciplinary seminar, to be taught concurrently in Spring 2022, on “The University and Its Publics: North, South, and In Between.”
Rutgers Comp Lit participates in this initiative as a member of the International Consortium of Critical Theory Programs (ICCTP), co-directed by Judith Butler (UC Berkeley) and Penelope Deutscher (Northwestern).
