Graduate Research Collaborative

The Graduate Research Collaborative in Literature and Religion, sponsored by a grant from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Boston College in conjunction with Religion and the Arts, provides a forum for ongoing dialogue between graduate students and professors on topics related to the developing field of religion and literature.  Specific topics vary from year to year, ranging from broad theoretical discussions to analyses of specific texts.  Past collaboratives have focused on the role of religion in scholarship and teaching, on Marilynne Robinson's novels Gilead and Home, on Chaim Potok's The Chosen, on Czeslaw Milosz's poetry, on Cormac McCarthy's The Road, and on the religious dimensions of contemporary fantasy films.  Any interested individuals are welcome to participate.

The Spring 2009 Graduate Research Collaborative has concluded.  Please stay tuned for information regarding our Spring 2010 Collaborative.
