PhD in Comparative Literature in London Canada | Western University

Western University's Comparative Literature program is renowned for its expertise in diverse literary traditions (including but not exclusive to American, Canadian, Classical, English, French & Francophone, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, and Spanish). The program stands apart from counterparts at institutions like Toronto, Alberta, and Montreal through its strong emphasis on critical theory, postcolonial studies, East-West cultural exchanges, and interdisciplinary media studies (with particular attention to visual arts and cinema). Faculty members include distinguished scholars specializing in Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and modern (18th-20th century) cultural studies. Although most Ph.D. students serve as Teaching Assistants, selected candidates may have the opportunity to develop and teach their own courses within Western's undergraduate Comparative Literature and Culture curriculum.
