We participated in a roundtable, The Global South and the Limits of Postcolonialism, at the Global South Colloquium (November 16-19, 2016), which is a part of the amazing new initiative on the Global South at the University of Virginia.
​
We are currently collaborating with the Modern Language Association's Global South Forum as Duncan M. Yoon will begin serving a three-year term in January, 2017 as representative to the delegate assembly.

Also, be on the look out for an American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA) 2017 panel co-sponsored by the MLA Global South Forum and the GSP-Cornell!
