My name is Yana Zlochistaya, and I am the Editor in Chief of the Comparative Literature Undergraduate Journal (CLUJ) at the University of California, Berkeley.

I am writing to inform you that we are currently accepting submissions for the Spring 2017 issue and would like to extend this call for papers to all interested undergraduates. Since its founding in 2011, the Journal has published premier undergraduate research in comparative texts and media, treating a broad range of topics including, but not limited to, theoretical literary discourse, international trends in literature, and comparisons of national literature. With every issue, we seek original undergraduate research within the literary humanities. A detailed description of our submission criteria as well as the submission form can be found on our website athttps://ucbcluj.org/submissions/. The deadline to submit to the Fall 2017 issue is January 29 at 11:59 PM, Pacific Time.

We would also like to take this opportunity to encourage students to send applications to Berkeley’s sixth annual Comparative Literature Undergraduate Symposium. I have attached additional information theme_guidelines-2017-symposium about the symposium to this email. Though we fall under the same department, the selection processes for the two are completely separate, therefore duplicate submissions are not only accepted, but encouraged.

We would really appreciate it if you could circulate this email among your students to let them know about this opportunity. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions regarding this CFP. We look forward to receiving your submissions.

Kindest regards,

Yana Zlochistaya
