Statement on the Events of April 25


The Department of Comparative Literature condemns the violent use of force that was authorized by the Emory University administration to disperse the student-led demonstrations that were held on campus on April 25, 2024.  We demand that all students and faculty who were arrested be released immediately, and that all charges against them be dropped.

News & Events


The Department of Comparative Literature is pleased to introduce two distinguished additions to our faculty starting Fall 2024: Professor Ronald Mendoza-de Jesús and Professor Irving Goh. Their scholarly contributions will encompass a diverse spectrum of expertise, spanning courses such as "Other Medusas: Caribbean Abjections" and "World Literature and the Question of Citizenship." Further information will be shared in the near future.
