The Center launched the New World Lit Lab Lectures & Seminars in order to offer opportunities to dive deep into what we call the New World Literature, a new paradigm for literary and neodisciplinary creative practice.
The Lab is meant to foment, generate, and provoke debates. It invites work done across disciplines that engage with the central tenets and problematics raised in the New World Lit realm. While the lectures often took place in classes that were also open to wider cohorts and populations of students, the seminars have been more intimate spaces of exploration among participants. The basic structure of the seminars allowed us to invite a group of respondents/participants to dive into thematics that were contemporary relative to both literature in a new world, and a new type of world literature.
