Welcome to the Society for Comparative Literature and the Arts!
The aim of the of the Society for Comparative Literature and the Arts (formerly Southern Comparative Literature Association) is to support and strengthen Comparative Literature and Arts studies. The society strives to foster an interest in literature as a form of artistic expression beyond national and linguistic boundaries, to help acquaint the community at large with the aims and values of comparative literature studies, and to help place young scholars in academic positions where they may be effective as teachers and scholar-critics. In order to achieve these goals the society holds meetings for the purpose of presenting and discussing studies in comparative literature and arts and cooperates with other organizations interested in the attainment of these objectives.
