Dear All,

The news of 'disestablishing' the Centre for Comparative Literature comes as a shock to anyone engaged in projects that cut across languages, historical periods, literary traditions, geographical and disciplinary boundaries. Indeed, comparative literature is the paragon of humanities, and dissolution of such a program at any university in any part of the world is a disgrace. Indeed, the death of the Centre will be the death of intellectual advancement at University of Toronto.

Thanks,
