Call for Chapters: Qualitative Research Methods for Dissertation Research

While it takes copious research to get into a graduate program, it is also impossible to fully encompass the experience of being within a graduate program from the outside looking in. Given that so much of graduate school can often be a mystery, and given that there are also many ways one can be a graduate student, those who are newer to the experience of graduate school may find themselves wondering what to do when faced with handbooks, seminar syllabi, or even teaching for the first time. While these resources from your program will always be helpful, there remain aspects of graduate education that can seem rather opaque and mysterious to the point of being intimidating.

Overview 

The Early Scholars Publication Grants, offered through the UNESCO Chair in Translating Cultures at the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies (KFCRIS) are intended to facilitateand support the publication and dissemination of outstanding graduate-level researchin a peer-reviewed academic publication. The Chair seeks to encourage graduate students to share their research and enhance intercultural dialogue as it relates to the Chair’s annual themes.  

This Comparative Literature session, like its namesake discipline, strives to be broad, inclusive, and interdisciplinary. We therefore welcome proposals that touch on multiple works of literature and strive to make use of more than traditional comparative studies, borrowing analytic or interpretive practices from other disciplines such as philosophy, film and media studies, digital humanities, cultural or art history, etc.

This session seeks papers engaging with a wide variety of Comparative Literature topics, including perhaps, but not necessarily, papers exploring the main theme of this year's PAMLA conference, "Translation in Action," and/or other topics beyond that. The session also invites papers focusing on:

Literary texts affect us emotionally. They can negotiate the ambiguities and complexities of emotions in a highly nuanced way and help readers to develop their "emotional literacy," that is the ability to read, understand and cope with one’s own emotions and those of others. Through modulations of narrative voice and focalization, literature can, for example, generate empathy or insight by allowing readers to reflect upon the emotional impasses, contradictions and precarities faced by marginalized or "othered" individuals or groups (e.g. recent media representations challenging the trope of the presumed "lack of empathy" of individuals on the Autism spectrum) and the cultural variability, historicity and social constructedness of emotions (e.g.
