Every year CoLEAGS hosts the Boundaries of Literature Symposium, an event that brings an established scholar to campus to present on topics of broad interest to the graduate student body. The Boundaries of Literature Symposium is planned by the CoLEAGS Boundaries Coordinators (currently Grant Glass and Sean DiLeonardi) and includes both a lecture by the invited speaker and a seminar for graduate students.

2019 Boundaries of Literature Symposium (March 20-21, 2019)
This year’s speaker is Alex Galloway, Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University. Galloway will give a talk entitled “Uncomputable” on Wednesday, March 20 at 3:30 PM in Toy Lounge, Dey Hall. The following day (Thursday, March 21) at 3:30 PM he will hold a seminar in Donovan Lounge, Greenlaw Hall on “New French Theory.” For more information about the 2019 Boundaries of Literature Symposium, visit the event website.
