Apparently this forthcoming volume on Chinese diasporic writers & artists has been advertised! routledge.com/Chi.../Tam-Li/… Imagine me talking about 'prison(e)scape' (through exophone writing!)? My chapter is right after the eminent Chinese-American novelist, poet & academic Ha Jin's!

Happening later today!

Our CLC PhD student’s exciting California fieldwork trip!

Huge Congrats! Dr Alexandra Reza's book 'Anticolonial Form: Literary Journals at the End of Empire' (OUP 2024) received *Honorable Mention* for the prestigious Harry Levin Prize which recognizes an outstanding first book in the discipline of comparative literature hosted ACLA

Well, didn’t win the award - nor was I expecting to! - but what a lovely experience! I got to show my photo on the podium of the gorgeous university hall! 😊😊😊 Together with a nicely curated booklet as a souvenir! Comparative Literatures and Cultures (CLC) Bristol SML

Since this is something Prof Natalie Edwards will never boast about, I will instead. She's just had her SIXTEENTH co-edited collection published, which makes for one a year since she started in 2008. Over a hundred authors published because of this, I'd say she's pretty altruistic...

The new episode of Crossing Channels is on the value of speaking other langauges with myself and Benjamin Pitt: pod.fo/e/2fb7e1 Richard Westcott explores the individual and societal benefits with us.

Busy preparing for the new term! But never forget to celebrate publications! Comparative Literatures and Cultures (CLC)
