I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of them. In my nearly three years planning for the 2019 ACLA Conference, numerous colleagues and departments have offered me invaluable financial and logistical support. The Presidential Address by David Palumbo-Liu (Friday evening) will be followed by the Awards Ceremony to recognize outstanding scholarly work in our discipline.
The ACLA Opening Reception on Thursday evening and the Graduate Students Cocktail Hour on Friday afternoon will offer opportunities to get together as a community and enjoy the company of old and new colleagues. We are equally proud of all the students who have been selected to present papers in the ACLA Undergraduate Seminar, a commendable initiative that highlights the pivotal role of undergraduate education in shaping sophisticated comparative research. As is customary at ACLA, we have events geared towards graduate students, such as the pre-conference session on publishing the first article (Thursday), and the panel on Ethics in the Academy (Friday). They also include a special session to honor the legacy of renowned comparatist Ross Chambers. The Thursday afternoon workshops promote debates on paramount issues, from translation and travel to the role of comparative methodologies in diasporic literature and in environmental and medical humanities. We are deeply honored to have internationally acclaimed novelist Amitav Ghosh as our keynote speaker (Saturday evening), and to welcome distinguished critics Mary Louise Pratt, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, and Robert Warrior for the Presidential Plenary Panel (Saturday). An impressive variety of topics and innovative approaches awaits you each day in panels and other non-stream events, all listed on the following pages under General Information and Conference Schedule. The program of the 2019 conference engages scholars and students from all over the world in inspiring dialogues across languages, cultures, and disciplines that show the richness of diversity and reflect the research and pedagogical mission of our university. With its vast array of seminars, pre-conference events, and plenary sessions, every year this remarkable event offers excellent opportunities to appreciate the vitality of comparative literature and its centrality in an authentic global education. 1 2019 MARCH 7-10, 2019 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITYĢ Annual Meeting of the American Comparative Literature Association ACLA 2019 GEORGETOWNĤ TABLE OF CONTENTS Welcome to ACLA 2019 and Acknowledgments.4 Welcome to Georgetown University.6 General Information.7 Registration.7 Book Exhibit.7 Conference Locations.7 Bookstore.7 Accessibility.8 Audiovisual and Media Needs.9 Wi-Fi.9 In Case of Emergency.9 Opening Reception.9 Keynote Speaker: Amitav Ghosh.9 Presidential Plenary Panel.10 Presidential Address and Awards Ceremony Reception.10 Refreshment Areas.11 Accommodations.11 Driving Directions.11 Dining on Campus.13 Dining off Campus.14 Shuttle Bus Services.15 Campus Parking.16 Taxis and Ridesharing.16 Public Transportation.17 Conference Schedule.18 Of Special Interest to Students.24 Maps.28 Seminars in Detail: Stream A: 8:30 AM 10:15 AM.35 Stream B 10:30 AM 12:15 PM.77 Stream C 2:00 PM 3:45 PM Stream D 4:00-5: Split Streams C/C/D Index of Papers Index of Presenters ACLA 2020 Announcement ADVERTISEMENTS Cambridge University Press.12 Edinburgh University Press.33 Duke University Press GEORGETOWN ACLAĥ ACLA 2019 WELCOME TO ACLA 2019 AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am delighted to welcome you to the ACLA Annual Meeting at Georgetown University.
