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!
