New Pathways / Current Trends

Graduate Studies Conferences

A tradition of graduate studies conferences, alternating literary/cultural studies (New Pathways) and linguistics (Current Trends):

Oct 12–13, 2018: New Pathways in North American Studies
Nov 22, 2019: Current Trends in Linguistics
Nov 19–21, 2020: New Pathways in Anglophone Literary and Cultural Studies in Pandemic Times
Nov 19, 2021: Current Trends in Linguistics: Linguistics: Then, Now and Later. An online domestic Symposium for Doctoral Students
Nov 25–26, 2022: Community in Peril: From Individual Identities to Global Citizenship

However, the tradition of graduate student conferences is longer in our Department,
see Other Conferences and Events 2005–2015.
