*"Un(bound): the Humanities in Transition*

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Haun Saussy

Professor of Comparative Literature, Yale University

boundaries. Rapid change calls upon the scholar to embody a new spirit of
trans/inter-disciplinarity, leading to scholarship that detects and crosses
geographical and disciplinary divisions.
