Description
Welcome to Comparative Literatures and Cultures Society!
Who are we?
As a society, our aim is to promote the learning of different cultures and lived experiences through the lenses of different forms of media, hosting monthly international book clubs, film clubs and many other events!
What do we offer?
We offer a mix of academic and social events where you can engage in thoughtful intellectual discussion whilst making friends of shared cultured interests. We strive to make our events and conversations accessible as all disciplines are welcome!
• Our Book club at the end of each month, where we explore translated intersectional fiction.
• Our Film club in the middle of each month, where we watch and analyse niche, subtitled films from around the world.
• Drop-in study and reading sessions
• Book shop crawls
• Open mic nights
• Cocktail nights
• Pub quizzes
• Museum trips
• Picnics
• Guest Speakers
Along with these events (and more!) we will be launching the first issue of our CLC magazine this academic year! Name TBC - stay tuned for more information :)
